In undulating pasture, on the S side of a ridge top. An arc of earthen bank (L c. 15m; Wth 3m; int. H 1.1m; ext. H 1.4m) with traces of an external fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.4m) are the remains of the S arc of a rath (diam. c. 25m) indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map. At the W end of the surviving bank a linear earthen bank (L c. 10m; Wth 1.8m; H 0.6m) projects sharply northwards and may be of a more recent date. There is a quarry hollow (10m x 6m) c. 6m to E.
