At roughly 29 metres across, it is a modest but well-preserved example of a rath, the earthen enclosures that were the standard farmstead form in early medieval Ireland, typically built between the sixth and tenth centuries. What makes this one quietly notable is how legibly its original form survives: the bank, the fosse, the gaps that once served as entrances are all still readable in the landscape.

The structure is univallate, meaning it has a single enclosing bank rather than the two or three rings found at more elaborate sites. That bank is still 4 metres wide and stands 1.6 metres above the fosse, the shallow ditch that runs around its outer edge. The fosse itself sits roughly half a metre below the level of the surrounding ground, which gives a sense of how the original builders used excavated material to raise the bank. Two gaps break the circuit, one to the north-east at 3 metres wide and one to the south-south-east at 2.6 metres, and these almost certainly mark the original entrance points. The interior measures approximately 28.4 metres north to south and 29.6 metres east to west, a space that would once have enclosed a household, its animals, and whatever stores and structures a farming family needed. The fieldbanks that now bound the site to the north and west suggest the rath has been absorbed, over centuries, into the ordinary agricultural geometry of the area, which is how most such sites have survived at all.
