Marked only on the 1927 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated towards the top of the N-facing slope of an E-W ridge. D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 36m E-W; 23m N-S) defined by a scarp (H 0.3m) NW-E, but it is truncated by a N-S field bank at W and an E-W field bank at S. There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance. Rath (RO022-041----) is c. 150m to the SW.
