In a stand of deciduous and coniferous trees, with a farmstead immediately to E and pasture to N. There is an E−W road (N 5) immediately to S.
Raised circular area (30m N−S; 28m E−W) defined by a substantial earthen bank (Wth 5m; int. H 0.75-0.85m at N & S, 1.4m at W; ext. H 1.6m at S, 2.3m at N & W). The bank is well preserved for most of the circuit; stones protruding from its inner face in parts, possibly remnants of a stone facing. A section of the bank at NE is partly levelled, and is abutted by a garden shed and a wall. There is a hint of a depression (Wth c. 3m) outside the bank at W, which might be indicative of a fosse, but it cannot be traced elsewhere.
A gap (Wth c. 2m) at SE may be an original entrance, as the rath is lower here relative to exterior ground level. The interior is level, and contains a souterrain (MA063-036001) in the W half.
Trees ring the bank and are thinly scattered through the interior. The interior ground surface is obscured by ferns, ivy, bluebells, pine needles and leaf mould. There is a rath (MA063-036----) 100m to SW, and another rath (MA063-034----) 200m to W.
