  Description

  In pasture, just below the crest of a hill, on a SE-facing slope, with commanding views E-SE. An oval area (c. 70m N-S; c. 60m NW-SE) defined by a heavily overgrown scarp ESE-SSE and by an earthen bank (int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.4m) SSE-N. It has been levelled N-ESE but is visible as a low rise (H 0.4m). The bank is highest WSW-N (int. H 1.5m) and heavily overgrown with furze, ferns and briars. There is a shallow external fosse (D 0.3m over 2m) along the S arc. The field boundaries at S and ENE which abutted the bank have been levelled. The interior is grass covered and raised at E and S to compensate for the hillslope, while the northern portion slopes gently down to the SE. The modern entrance to the interior is at ESE where the bank is levelled and there is another gap (Wth 4m) at SW. According to local tradition, the field occupied by the rath is called the 'lios field' and there is a souterrain (CO124-074002-) outside the high N bank of the rath.
