On a broad N-S ridge in improved pasture surrounded by mixed hazel and coniferous wood from E-S-NNW. A subcircular area (int. diams. 22m N-S; 20m E-W) is defined by a broad flat-topped (av. Wth 3m) earthen bank (av. Wth. 4.5m; int. H 0.3m at E - 1m at W; ext. H 0.7m at W - 1.5m at E) with an entrance gap (Wth 4m) at SE which is partly blocked with cleared field stones. The inner face of the bank is faced with drystone walling (H 0.5m) as is the outer face at E. Elsewhere, especially along S and W, the outer face is poached by livestock. The stone facing is likely associated with the later field boundary walls recorded on the Cassini edition (1920) of the OS 6-inch map radiating off the monument at NE, SE and SW and overlying the original enclosing bank from NE-S-SW. The interior contains a low clearance cairn (max. H 0.45m; L 4m E-W; Wth 3.3m N-S) in the NNE sector. A second rath (MA070-033001-) is partly visible c. 110m to the S.
