It sits just sixteen metres downslope from a rath, the kind of earthen enclosure, typically ringfort-era, that was once a farmstead enclosed by a raised bank for protection or status. Whether this smaller circular feature was contemporary with that rath, or came centuries later, remains an open question.

What survives is a raised circular platform roughly seven metres across. The northern half is defined by a low bank of earth and stone, between two and a half and three metres wide, rising about half a metre or so above the interior. The southern half takes a different form, where the natural slope of the ridge does the structural work: here a pronounced scarp drops nearly 1.8 metres on the outer face, with the interior levelled up artificially to compensate. The effect is that whoever built this site cut into the hillside on one side and piled material on the other to achieve a flat floor. A low break in the scarp toward the east-south-east may be the remains of an entrance. Loose stones are scattered across the interior and along the top of the bank, too dispersed now to suggest a wall still standing, but consistent with one that once did. About fifteen metres to the north, a small sod-covered cairn, three metres across and 1.4 metres high, is thought to represent field clearance rather than anything more ceremonial, the accumulated result of generations of picking stone from the surrounding ground.

The site is in working pasture, so the earthworks are most readable when vegetation is low. The combination of the scarp to the south and the built-up bank to the north gives the platform a distinctly engineered feel underfoot, even where nothing above ground survives intact.
