In pasture, on the lower NW-facing slopes of The Paps of Dana. A roughly semicircular area (dim. c. 34m SE-NW) is defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4.5m; int. H 1m; ext. H 0.6m) NE-W and by a linear scarp (L 33m; Wth 3.6m; H 1.75m) at NW. There is a possible causeway entrance (Wth 2.9m) at ENE. The NW portion of the interior is raised and the SE portion is cut into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope. A stone field boundary skirts the external edge of the bank at NE. An indistinct overgrown field boundary skirts the rath externally along the SW arc. The rath is indicated as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 35m) on the 1846 and 1894-5 OS 6-inch maps.
