Situated on a naturally-ocurring rise at the base of an E-facing of a NW-SE ridge in rough pasture. Raised subcircular area (27m E-W; 22m N-S) enclosed by a low bank (Wth 2.7m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.2m) of earth and stone which may have been internally faced with stones. At the outer foot of the bank at the W half of the site is a fosse (Wth 2-3m) with an external bank (Wth. 3.3m; int. H 1.7m; ext. H 0.2m). At N–S the fosse and external bank area replaced by a terrace-like feature, with a steep external slope (H 2.45m at N, 2m at E), merging with the natural slope of the rise. A break (Wth 2-2.4m) in inner bank at NE, facing a sloping ramp-like feature, represents original entrance. Adjoining the NE of the rath is a small roughly triangular enclosure (SL012-093003-). Extending E from the rath is a field system (SL012-093002-). There is possible mound barrow (SL021-092----) c. 20m to SW, a rath (SL012-091----) c. 190m to W, and another rath (SL012-094----) c. 140m to E.
