  In pasture, on the W end of a low rise. A roughly circular area (int. diam. c. 30m) defined by a curving hedgerow NNE-SSE, by a scarp (H 0.6m) SSE-SSW and by a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.4m) NNW-NNE. The external bank face is stepped at N. Two boggy hollows of similar dimensions (12m E-W; 10m N-S) were noted, one outside the bank at N and the other outside the scarp at S. There is a lane immediately S of the rath. Only an arc of the hachured bank NNE-N and the curving field boundary NNE-SSE are indicated on the 1914 OS 6-inch map.
