In pasture, located on the top of a ridge at the break of slope on the S-facing side. There are very good views to S over an expanse of lowlying pasture; views to NW–NE are less extensive along the undulating spine of the ridge top.
Oval raised area (26m E–W; 21.5m N–S) defined by a scarp (H 1.4m at N, 2m at S). It is crossed centrally by a property fence on a N–S axis. To W of the fence the remains are clearly defined, but to E of the fence the rath has been partly levelled, surviving as a broadly slumped slope. The scarp has a vertical face with remnants of stone facing at SE–S where it was incorporated into an E-W field fence, now removed.
There is no clearly defined entrance feature, but it may have been at NE where the scarp is lowest. The N half of the interior is level and there is a slope from centre down to S.
Grass cover, with gorse and hawthorn on the scarp at SE.
