In pasture, located on low N−S ridge, with a steep slope on the W side. The location provides extensive views.
Slightly raised, subcircular area (c. 20m N−S; c. 22m E−W) enclosed on the E half by a bank (Wth 3.3m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 0.9m at NE) which has been modified to serve as a field boundary, and on the W half by a low scarp (ext. H 0.9m). In the W half of the interior there is a raised area (Wth c. 5m E-W; c. 6-7m N−S), within which there is a souterrain (MA040-040001-).
A low, irregular curving stony scarp (H 0.2-0.3m) marks off the SE quadrant of the rath interior, which dips to a lower level than the rest of the interior. A slight N−S linear feature extends through the centre of the rath, possibly an old field fence or cultivation ridge.
Grass cover, with hawthorn and blackthorn around the perimeter and encroaching on the interior at E. A rath (MA040-039----) is located 100m to N, and is visible from this one, and there is a possible hut site (MA040-102----) c. 60m to S.
