In level pastureland. Classified by McCaffrey (1952, 263, no. 45) as a ‘Stone fort (?)’, the enclosing element of which was obscured by earth and rubble. This poorly preserved circular rath (diam. 41m) is defined by a low grassed-over bank which is overlain by a later field wall. A children’s burial ground (GA113-015001-) is associated.
