On top of a prominent E-W ridge in pasture with a marshy estuary to N and good views in all directions. A subcircular earthen enclosure (int. dims. 28.25m N-S; 28m E-W; overall dims. 58.75m N-S; 53.2m E-W) defined by a bank (av. int. H 0.7m; Wth c. 5m; ext. H up to 2.55m), a steep-sided and flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 2-3m) and an outer bank (Wth 3.9-5.1m; ext. H 1-1.25m). A causewayed entrance (Wth 4.25-5.5m; H 0.6m above the fosse) is at E. The interior slopes gently to N. The perimeter is densely overgrown. There are numerous cattle gaps in both banks and some poaching on the external bank at SSW. A second rath (CL015-093----) lies c. 45m to the E.
