Situated in the next field NE of KE020-031----, this site has excellent views in all directions. A univallate rath consisting of a sub-circular area enclosed by a bank and exterior fosse, the enclosing earthen bank is c 6m wide and rises to 1.2m above the interior and on average 1.9m above the external fosse. The external fosse is very much levelled, and N to NE and SSW through S to SE no trace of it survives. Elsewhere it is 2m-3m wide and c 1.2m deep. The interior is at a higher level than the surrounding land and according to local tradition a souterrain (KE020-032001-) lay under the surface. No surface trace remains today.
