In pasture, located on a rise. Views are good, over undulating terrain, with an expanse of wet land to NE.
Raised circular area (34.2m N–S; 34.4m E–W) defined by intermittent remnants of a bank (Wth 3 at NW, 3.7m at SE; int. H 0.4m at NW, 0.55m at SE; ext. H 1.7m at NW, 1.8 at SE) at N, NE, SE and SW, reduced to a scarp elsewhere. The bank/scarp has been modified at S–N to serve as a field boundary, and is faced with stone in parts. At WNW a section (L 10m) of the scarp is quarried out. There is a slight depression, marked by a dense growth of nettles, outside the bank N–NE, possibly indicating a fosse.
There is a break (Wth 2.5m) in the bank at NNE and a slumped gap (Wth 1.4m) at E, which may be an original entrance, and several narrow breaks have been eroded by cattle.
An opening to souterrain (MA071-175001-) is evident slightly N of centre in the interior.
The rath is ringed with hawthorn, hazel and blackthorn trees; the interior is level and grassy.
