On a hillock in marshy pastureland. This poorly preserved circular rath (diam. c. 35m) is defined by a curving scarp from NNE to ENE, faint traces of a bank from ENE to E and by a scapr from E to S. Slight traces of an external fosse survive at NE. A house has been built immediately outside the monument at SW.
