In improved pasture, located on a level area on gently rising ground, with good views, most extensive E–SSW. There is a very gradual fall of ground to SE.
This rath is not shown on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps. It has been levelled. The remains consist of a slightly raised oval area (23.5m NE–SW; 32.8m NW-SE) defined SW–NNE by a slight rise representing a levelled bank or scarp, and NNE–SSE by remnants of a scarp (Wth c. 1.5m; H 0.55m) incorporating large stones and enhanced by the natural fall of ground. At SSE–SW the enclosing element is entirely levelled. A shallow depression outside the scarp at W may be a fosse.
A post and wire field fence on a NE–SW axis crosses the enclosure to SE of centre. A few large stones, set in a row parallel to the field fence, in the SE of the interior, may be the remnants of an earlier field wall replaced by the wire fence. There is a slight surface depression or hollow in N sector of the interior.
