Description
On a gentle SE-facing slope in pasture. A raised subcircular area (57.8m NE-SW; 51.9m NW-SE) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 4.8m; H 0.1-0.8m). From S-N-ENE the outer face of the bank has been modified and incorporated into a field boundary. There is no trace of a fosse. A modern NW-SE field boundary crosses the rath immediately inside the bank at NE. A break (Wth 4.1m) at E may mark the original entrance. The interior slopes appreciably from NW-SE.
