On the S-facing slope of a sight WNW-ESE ridge c. 600m N of the WNW-ESE Carnfree ridge. Circular grass-covered area (int. diam. 30m E-W; 28m N-S) defined by a parch mark (Wth 2-4m), with the parch-marks of field banks extending off to the SW and NW. There is no identifiable fosse or entrance, but it is probably a rath. Enclosure (RO028-076----) is c. 30m to the NE.
