On a gentle N-facing slope in pasture. Depicted as a roughly circular enclosure designated 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. The monument was cut at NW and SE by a public road and a roughly D-shaped enclosure/annexe (LF022-028002-) extended off the SE quadrant. It consists of a slightly raised circular area (diam. c. 45m NE-SW) defined by a low bank (top Wth 2m; base Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.65m) which has been mainly reduced to a scarp (H 0.4m) with slight traces of a possible infilled external fosse. A depression (Wth 2m) in the scarp at SW may mark the original entrance. Traces of the NE quadrant (12m NE-SW), which is overgrown with trees rendering inspection difficult, survive in the field on the opposite side of the roadway. There is a tradition of a possible souterrain (LF022-028003-) at the intersection between the rath and the enclosure/annexe.
