On the summit of a knoll, some 450m NW of Barnaderg Castle (GA044-018----). Well-preserved circular rath (D 43.8m) defined by three banks and two intervening fosses. A field wall cuts the monument at SSW. Entrance causeway (Wth 4m) at E. Within the interior is a raised rectangular platform (N-S; L 17m, Wth 14m), within which is an oval hollow (L 9m, Wth 5m), probably an associated house (GA044-016001-).
