Situated on a slight rise, in gently undulating pasture, with good views in all directions. This is the westernmost of two conjoined raths (the other is SL008-185----) which abut each other on an E-W alignment. This rath consists of a raised circular area (diam. c. 18m) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 3.4m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.6m), outside which there is a fosse (Wth 3.65m) with an external earthen bank (Wth 3.05; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.5m). At NNW corresponding breaks (Wth 1.5m) in the inner and external banks marks the position of the original entrance. At SE-SW the external bank has been partly removed, and at W-NW it has been incorporated into a NNW-ESE orientated field boundary. The level interior is engulfed in dense overgrowth. At E the external bank abuts the enclosing bank of the second rath (SL008-185----).
