It overlooks a small stream valley, and from within its interior two neighbouring raths are visible, one roughly 200 metres to the north-west and another around 300 metres to the south-east. Whatever the social or territorial logic that placed these enclosures so close together, their mutual visibility is striking, suggesting that whoever built and used them may have been very much aware of one another.

A rath is an early medieval farmstead enclosure, typically of the first millennium AD, defined by one or more earthen banks and ditches and enclosing the dwelling and outbuildings of a farming household. This example is roughly circular, measuring 33.5 metres north to south and 33 metres east to west. Its defining earthen bank survives best along the southern arc, where the external height reaches 1.4 metres, but elsewhere it has been worn down to a scarp. Outside the bank, a fosse, that is a defensive or drainage ditch, survives as a shallow depression about three metres wide. Part of the bank to the east has been absorbed into a straight field boundary fence, and the original entrance, likely to the east, is now obscured by that same fence. Three narrow gaps elsewhere in the bank appear to be more recent breaks rather than original features.

The interior is level but not entirely featureless. In the north-west quadrant there is an irregular shallow depression about four metres across, and close to the bank on the south-south-west side sits a low, roughly circular sod-covered mound, around four to four and a half metres in diameter and just thirty centimetres high, with a notably wet and soggy top surface. What these internal features represent is not recorded, but such depressions and mounds within rath interiors can sometimes indicate the collapsed remains of structures or pits. The whole site is under grass, low-lying, and easy to underestimate from a distance, which is perhaps part of what makes it interesting.
