On a gentle E-facing slope in pasture, with the River Nore flowing N-S c. 40m to the E. A circular area (int. diam. c. 43m) enclosed by a bank, fosse, outer bank and probable outer fosse. It was levelled in the 1950s and is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs (CUCAP BDI 21, 1970; BGG 78, 1971; BOD 15, 1973; ASIAP (109) 28-33, 22 July 2000). It is described by Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 322) as 'a very fine rath. It consists of a circular enclosure defended by a fosse 36ft. [c. 11m] wide at top and 17ft. [c. 5m] deep, and by an external rampart of earth 9ft. [c. 2.7m] high and 159ft. [c. 48.5m] in diameter'. It is not visible at ground level.
