On the crest of a low NW-SE drumlin ridge. Described as an oval area (dims 28m N-S; 22.5m E-W) defined by an earthen bank and outer fosse which was conjoined to rath (RO017-188002-) which is immediately to the E (Gannon 1972). A short arc (C 4m) of an earthen bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1m) and outer fosse (Wth of base 1.3m; D 0.2m) survive at NE in reclaimed pasture.
