This univallate rath is marked on the 1841-42 and 1914-15 OS maps; on the earlier edition a fieldbank runs along the W sector in a NNW-SSE direction. This rath has been almost ploughed out and all that remains is a low, wide earthen bank which can be traced from the N through E to S. The bank is 8m-12m wide at the base and .4m high.
