On S-facing slope of a ridge in grassland. Very poorly preserved originally subcircular rath (N-S c. 40m) defined by a bank and external fosse from S through W to N. A field bank encircles the fosse. No visible surface trace of the enclosing elements survives elsewhere. An earthwork (GA001-036----) lies c. 170m toWNW.
