On top of a ridge. A slightly raised circular area (diam. 22m) enclosed by a stone-faced earthen bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.7m) NW-E and by a scarp E-W. The bank is heavily eroded W-NW. A boggy area indicates the line of the external fosse (Wth 2.5m; D 0.4m) NW-SE. The interior slopes gently down to S. The rath is overgrown with gorse, briars and nettles. Field boundaries (on E-W and N-S axes) lie immediately to N and E.
