The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a S-facing slope with views SW to Mangerton Mountain. A circular area (43.8m E-W; 43.1m N-S) defined by two earthen banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank (Wth 6.3m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 3.05m) is flat-topped and best preserved along the N arc where it is topped with trees. The fosse (Wth 2.7m) is flat-bottomed. The outer bank (Wth 3.7m; int. H 1.65m; ext. H 0.55m) is also flat-topped. Breaks in the banks occur at N, S and SW. The interior slopes down to the S and has a possible hut site (KE067-005001-) at the centre. The rath is partially obscured by overgrowth.
