In pasture, on the break of a gentle S-facing slope. The remains of a raised circular area (diam. 40m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 10m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.6m) with an intervening fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.1m) and an outer earthen bank (Wth 5.5m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.15m) ENE-ESE. The interior slopes down from the bank to a level central area. There is an entrance (Wth c. 4m) at WNW. A limekiln (KE057-123----) is built into the bank at S. The rath is indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular enclosure with trees lining the bank along the N and S arcs. A children's burial ground (KE057-066----) is c. 120m to the E.
