Situated on a gentle N-facing slope overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Raised circular area (diam. 22.4m) enclosed by a wide, low bank of earth and stone (Wth. 6m; int. H 0.2m - 0.8m) with evidence for both internal and external stone facing. No fosse. Poorly defined break in bank at SE (Wth. c.1.9m) probably represents original entrance. There is a second break in the bank at SW. Extending out at right angles for 7.5m from the outer face of the bank at NW is a linear, low bank of earth and stone (Wth. 2.4m; max. H 0.75m). From this point it changes direction and runs for a further 5.5m in a NNE direction (SL013-013001-). Adjoining the E side of the rath is a slightly raised rectangular area (24m NNE-SSW; 7.7m WNW-ESE; max. H 0.4m), probably the remains of an animal enclosure (SL013-013002-). Compiled by: Patrick F.
