In pasture, located on a low ridge. Raised circular area or platform (34.5m N–S; 32.7m E–W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 5-6m; int. H 0.3-0.5m; ext. H 1.75m, 3.4m at SE) with a pronounced external slope, which drops into a fosse (Wth 3.5-4m) with an external bank (Wth 4-5.5m; int. H 0.8-1.3m; 1-1.2m).
There is a gap (Wth 2m) in the bank at E, roughly faced with stones on the S terminal. It may be an original entrance; there is a corresponding low area in the outer bank. There is another break (Wth c. 2m) in the bank at N. Loose stone is evident scattered in the fosse and along the top of the outer bank. A field fence, on a N−S axis, cuts across the rath, slightly to E of centre. The perimeter is densely ringed with hawthorn, blackthorn and brambles, which also encroach on the interior. There is an old quarry pit (diam. c. 12m) just outside the outer bank at NE, and another small depression/ area of disturbance (7m N–W; 5m E–W) abutting the outer bank at SW.
