In pasture, on the level top of a low NE−SW hill or small ridge, with broad, gently sloping sides, affording excellent view in all directions over rolling grassland.
Not shown on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps; visible in aerial imagery (Google Earth dated 11/24/2016).
This rath was levelled at an unknown date in the past but its outline can still be traced at ground level. A circular area (48.5m NW−SE; 51m NE−SW) is defined on the perimeter by a slight rise/undulation, crossed on the NE edge by a drystone field wall/property boundary on a NW−SE axis. There is an oval hollow (c. 18m NW-SE; c. 10m NE−SW) ) immediately outside the enclosure at SW, which naturally fills with water.
The rath interior is level, with a possible souterrain (MA118-173001-) located to SW of centre.
Notified to NMS by Jean-Charles Caillère.
