Situated on a shelf of a SW-facing slope with a N-S ridge rising over it c. 250m to the NE. This is a circular area in mixed deciduous woodland (diam. 32.6m E-W; 30.7m N-S) defined by three earthen banks and fosses. The inner bank (Wth of base 5.3-7m; int. H 0.9-1.2m; ext. H 2.3-2.8m) is separated by a fosse (Wth of top 6.3m at N to 10.9m at W; Wth of base 1.4-2.8m; ext. D 0.8m at W to 1.3m at E) from a middle bank (Wth of base 5.3m at E to 8.3m at N; ext. H 0.8m at W to 1.5m at E) with a second fosse (Wth of top 4.8-6.8m; ext. D 0.9m at N to 1.5m at E) outside it. A third outer bank (Wth of base 5.3m at E to 7m S-W; ext. H 1.8m at E to 2.8m S-W) has a third outer fosse (Wth of top 5m at N to 8.2m at E; Wth of base 1.2m at N to 3m at E; ext. D 0.6m S-W to 1m at E). Outside the third fosse there is a raised berm (Wth of base 5.9-6.5m; Wth of top 3.7-4m; ext. H 0.6m) SE-W, but it may be a late feature and its outer edge is cut by a S-N relict road at W. The rath (CV016-095001-) is outside the outermost fosse at NW and would probably pre-date the outer earthworks here which truncate it. There is an entrance through the inner (Wth of base 1.8m), middle (Wth of base 2.7m) and outer (Wth of base 2.8m) banks at SSE, the lowest point of the interior, with causeways across the inner (Wth of top 3m; H 0.2m) and middle (Wth of top 3.2m; H 0.2m) banks. This is a National Monument in state ownership (No. 616) and it is accessed by a green road through the wood from a farm lane c. 120m to the SW. There is no convenient parking at this point which is c. 250m from a public road further S.

Situated on a shelf of a SW-facing slope with a N-S ridge rising over it c. 250m to the NE, and immediately NW of the trivallate rath (CV016-095----). This is a D-shaped area in mixed deciduous woodland (dims 38.5m NE-SW; 22m NW-SE) defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base 4.5-4.8m; int. H 0.2-0.4m; ext. H 1.3-1.5m) and an outer fosse (Wth of top 5-5.6m; Wth of base 1-1.2m; ext. D 0.4-0.7m) SW-NW-NE, and a scarp (H 0.9m) S-SW and NE-E to where the perimeter meets the outer fosse of rath (CV016-095----). There is an entrance (Wth of base 2.2m) and causeway (Wth of top 3.2m; H 0.2-0.5m) at NW. The outer earthworks of rath (CV016-095----) truncate the SE part of this monument.
