In pasture, located on top of a rise, with good views. There is a stream c. 50m to E and another stream 150m to SW.
This rath has been damaged. The remains consist of a roughly semi-circular, raised area (c. 29m NW-SE; c. 22m NE-SW) defined on the curving side SSE−NW by an earthen bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 1.4m) with an external fosse (Wth 2-2.5m; ext. D 0.4m). The bank is very low internally but has a well defined external slope. The fosse is evident as a shallow depression, which becomes wider (W 3.5m) and less clearly defined at NW. At NNW−E the fosse, bank and part of the interior have been quarried away, and a road now borders this side of the rath. A straight field fence, on NNW-SSE axis, truncated the E side of the rath.
There is a barely discernible linear rise (Wth 3m) outside the fosse at NW; this may be an external bank or simply a levelled field fence. The rath perimeter is ringed with dense brambles and gorse.
