On a steep SSW-facing slope in pasture. A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded that this raised circular area (diam. 46.4m) was defined by a bank and external fosse, with an outer bank from S-SW-W. The interior was divided into roughly equal portions by a low E-W bank. Within the N half were a number of wide, shallow depressions. The rath is defined by a scarp (H 0.9-2.1m) with an external fosse. The fosse (Wth 3.2m; D 0.1-0.3m) is shallow and waterlogged from WNW-N-NE where a modern field boundary extends around its outer lip. From NE-E-SE both it and the scarp have been destroyed due to the construction of modern field boundaries. From SE-S-SW the circuit and morphology of the fosse have been substantially altered where it has been incorporated into a field boundary. From SW-W-WNW it has been infilled but its outline is still identifiable. The original entrance is not recognisable. The outer bank and the internal features noted in the earlier report are not visible at ground level.
