In pasture, on level ground. A raised subcircular area (28m NW-SE; 25m NE-SW) defined by a scarp (H 0.85m) N-SE, by an earthen bank (Wth c. 1.7m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.2m) SE-W and by a linear ENE-WSW field boundary which truncates the NW sector. An external fosse (Wth c. 2.2m; D c. 1m) is evident S-W, obscured by furze bushes. A wide breach in the bank along the SE arc may represent the original entrance. There is a possible souterrain (KE047-077001-) in the centre. The rath is indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) while on the 1894 OS 6-inch map only the S half of it is indicated.
