This is a cashel, a type of ringfort defined by a stone rather than an earthen boundary wall, and what remains here is barely that. The circular outline, roughly fifteen metres across internally, has been so thoroughly colonised by later agricultural use that its ancient shape survives mainly as the borrowed wall of a triangular sheep-pen.

The most legible portion of the original enclosure is a surviving arc of outer facing along the south-west, standing about 1.1 metres high, with two upright slabs set 1.75 metres apart in the wall's thickness that probably mark the original entrance. The north-west arc, meanwhile, was quietly pressed into service as one wall of the sheep-pen that now fills the interior. A rectangular house, unroofed but structurally well preserved, interrupts the eastern side of that pen; it post-dates the second edition of the OS map, and the south-east arc of the cashel wall appears to have been dismantled to make way for it and the field cultivation beside it. The second-edition OS map did record two sub-circular sheep-folds within the enclosure, though these have since collapsed to low mounds of stone with only scattered sections of facing still visible. Those mounds may originally have been hut-sites associated with the cashel itself, later pressed into pastoral use as the settlement's original purpose was forgotten.

Local knowledge adds one further detail: a souterrain, an underground stone-lined passage often associated with early medieval settlements as a place of storage or refuge, is said to exist somewhere at the site, though it is now inaccessible. The cashel as a whole is not signposted or formally presented, and much of what it once was requires some patience to read in the landscape, cross-referencing the surviving wall fragments against the sheep-pen geometry that has, in an accidental way, kept part of the structure standing at all.
