In pasture, on a SW-facing slope with views to Mangerton Mountain. A circular area (36m E-W; 34m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 6.05m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 1.05m), partially obscured by overgrowth, and by a fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.65m) NNW-SE. The bank height varies and a depression (L 4m; Wth 2m) is evident on the bank at WNW. There is a break (Wth 3m) in the bank at W. The interior rises gradually from the perimeter to a flat-topped plateau to the S of the centre. The ground slopes away steeply from the rath SW-NW.
