  In pasture, on a low rise. A raised roughly circular area (15.5m N-S; 17.2m E-W) defined by a scarp (ext. H 0.9m). A band of boggy ground (Wth c. 4m) outside the scarp SSE-NE may indicate the line of a fosse. The rath is indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area. There is a NE-SW field boundary immediately to SE, on the line of the possible fosse.
