In pasture, close to the summit of a small rise. A roughly circular area (diam. c. 20m), outlined by a ring of rushes, may indicate the vestiges of the bank of a rath. The concave interior has a souterrain (KE059-003001-) in it. The rath is indicated as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) on the 1846 OS 6-inch map.
