The bank that originally defined its boundary has been levelled over time, leaving only the gentle rise of the mound itself to suggest the outline of something deliberate beneath the grass.

When the Ordnance Survey mapped this part of Mayo in 1838, the site was still legible enough to be recorded as a circular enclosure, which at least fixes a point in its slow disappearance from the landscape. What makes the site rather more interesting than a flattened earthwork might suggest is the presence of a souterrain, an underground stone-lined passage or chamber typically associated with ringforts and thought to have served for storage, refuge, or both. The souterrain survives as a recorded feature of the site, catalogued separately, and its existence implies that whatever community once occupied this rath invested real effort in its construction, even if the above-ground evidence has since been absorbed back into the field.
