Overgrown circular area (int. diam. 22.5m N-S; 20.5m E-W) defined by an earth and stone scarp (H 0.3-1m) with the remains of a stone wall with facing-stones (Wth 1.5-2.5m) on top of it. The original entrance is not identified, although there is a gap (Wth 1.5m) in the perimeter at N. Rath (LE011-094----) is c. 50m to the NW.
