On a level landscape. Described as a circular area (diam. 25m) defined by an earthen bank with no visible fosse but with an entrance at NE (Gannon 1972). It is now visible as a subcircular, grass-covered but poached area (dims 29m E-W; 26m N-S) defined by a scarp (H 0.45m at S to 0.75m at E). Rath (RO016-082----) is c. 60m to the W and rath (RO016-104----) is c. 180m to the SW.
