In pasture, at the edge of a steep SSE-facing slope. According to the landowner, the rath was levelled 'decades ago'. A low field boundary (Wth 1m; int. H 1.1m; ext. H 0.2m) is evident E-N, parts of which may incorporate dumped material from the bank. Inside this field boundary the ground is uneven. A low rise is visible N-E along the line of the bank. Numerous badger sets, rabbit burrows and trees occur along the field boundary. The rath is indicated as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 50m) on the 1846 OS 6-inch map and as a circular raised area (diam. c. 40m), skirted SE-NNW by a field boundary, on the 1939 OS 6-inch map.
