In the gardens of Tavraun House, located on a slight rise, c. 70m E of the house and farm buildings.
A slightly raised, circular area (34m N–S; c. 35m E–W) defined at NW–S by an earthen bank (Wth 5.5m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.45m) and fosse (Wth 4m), with an external bank (Wth 5.5m; int. H 1.1m; ext. H 0.6m) surviving at NW–ESE. The W arc of the enclosure has been levelled to barely discernible undulations. The surviving arcs of bank slump broadly into the fosse. A section of the external bank at N is faced with modern stone walling.
The rath interior is now maintained as a lawn area and the perimeter is thickly covered with ash, hawthorn, rhododendrons and brambles.
