The National Monuments Service's description
On a rise in undulating grassland, formerly part of Dunsandle Demesne. This poorly preserved subcircular rath (diam. c. 23m) is defined by a scarp. A field wall cuts across it from NW to NE and no visible surface trace of the enclosing element survives to the N of it.
