In pasture, at the W end of a low ridge, in undulating countryside. This rath is indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) with N-S field boundaries extending from its bank at N and S. On the 1894 OS 6-inch map only the W half of the rath, abutting a N-S field boundary, is indicated. A D-shaped area remains, defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 6.4m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 2.05m) SW-NW and NNW-N, by a scarp (H 1.7m) S-SW and NW-NNW and by a N-S field boundary along the straight E side (L 28m). There are numerous cattle gaps through the bank. The interior is slightly raised above the external ground level and is covered with overgrowth.
