What is recorded here
In rush-grown, damp pasture, located on a low ridge, with extensive views.
Subcircular area (39.5m N−S; 35.7m E−W) defined by a bank. The bank (Wth 3.4m; int. H 0.25m at N, 0.4m at S; ext. H 1.3m at N, 1.5m at S) has a low internal lip, reduced almost to a scarp in parts, especially on the E arc. The external face is cut to the vertical –probably in the modern era; it is thickly ringed with hawthorn/blackthorn scrub, gorse and brambles. A portion of the bank at SW−W has been truncated to a vertical scarp by a modern road which skirts the rath. A break (Wth 5m) at E may be on the site of an original entrance.
The interior slopes down slightly to E. A field fence, with a field ditch on its N side, crosses the centre of the rath on an E−W axis.
