In rough grazing, in a low-lying area between two ridges. A raised circular area (diam. 19.5m), eroded in places, defined by a scarp (max. H 1.2m on W side; H 0.6m on E side). The scarp is gently sloping NNE-SE, steeply sloping elsewhere and with a slight internal lip (H 0.3m) evident NNW-NNE. Apart from along the E arc, the perimeter of the rath is overgrown with hawthorn bushes.
