On a S-facing slope, on the W side of a road. A circular area (diam. 56m E-W) defined by a scarp (max. H 1m) SW-SE. The southern third of the rath has been levelled due to the construction of a farmhouse and yard. Indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as circular (diam. c. 50m) and planted with trees.
