In grassland immediately N of a farm house. Very poorly preserved subcircular rath (41m E-W; 38m N-S) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank is visible except to S where a scarp forms the enclosing element. The fosse and outer bank only survive from WSW to NW. The interior has been ploughed extensively.
