In pasture, located on elevated ground, overlooking a small river, which is located 30m to the W. There is a narrow strip (Wth 4m) of level ground immediately to W of the rath, beyond which ground falls steeply to the river bank. An E-W road (N 5) lies immediately to S.
This rath is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 25-30m), with a possible arc of fosse and external bank at NE; on the 1920 edition it is shown as a D-shaped hachured enclosure, with the straight side at S−SW.
The rath was severely damaged by quarrying in the early 20th century,: the only portions of the rath that remain intact are a semi-circular arc of bank at NW−SE, with a 2m wide strip of interior just inside the bank at NW−N.
There is a deep, grassed-over depression (c. 15-20m across), with a heap of stones in the base, immediately to NW of the rath, probably another quarry. There is a rath (MA063-035----) c. 120m to SE, and another rath (MA063-034----) 200m to E.
