In pasture, near base of E-facing slope. Monument, depicted on 1923 OS 6-inch map as sub-circular embanked enclosure, has been levelled. However, it is now evident as roughly circular area (26.2m N-S; 24m E-W) defined by scarped edge (H 0.25m; Wth 1.8m), with external fosse (D 0.2m; Wth 2.3m) SE->S. Arc of infilled fosse is identified by band of nettles (Wth 2m) running around base of scarp NE->W and wider band of yellow grass (Wth 5.5m) S->N. Interior, under pasture, slopes down to E.

- LI028-025 Ringfort - rath
Description
In pasture 20m SW of ringfort (LI019-198----) and 65m N of ringfort (LI028-026----). Depicted on the 1840 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure. The 1897 OS 25-inch map depicts a circular-shaped area (int. diam. 24m; ext. dims. 44m NE-SW; 42m E-W) defined by the remains of an internal bank and external scarp with an intervening fosse. The inner bank (approx. Wth 4m) is depicted throughout while the intervening fosse (max. Wth 4.5m) is shown from E through S to W. The outer enclosing element is evident as a scarp from E through S to W and as a field boundary from W through N to NNE. A spring well is shown within the fosse at SE and is connected to a drain that intersects the outer bank at E. Google Earth orthoimage taken 08/04/2015 shows the partially overgrown monument with cropmark of levelled ringfort (LI019-198----) immediately to NE.
