The National Monuments Service's description
On an E-facing slope in reclaimed pasture. Not indicated on the OS 6-inch maps but a curving field boundary on the 1913 ed. may mirror the outline of its S sector. A report in 1986 (SMR file) recorded a raised roughly circular area (c. 28m N-S; c. 26m E-W) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone with fragmentary remains of an external fosse. The original entrance was not recognisable. The rath is no longer visible at ground level.
