What was once a cashel, a type of ringfort built from dry-laid stone rather than an earthen bank, survives here as little more than a collapsed wall, its rubble spread across a band six to seven metres wide, rising barely half a metre above the interior ground level. The facing-stones that would once have given the structure its definition have almost entirely disappeared, and the wall itself has slumped and spread until it is less a barrier than a suggestion of one.

The site was recorded on Ordnance Survey mapping as far back as the 1897 twenty-five-inch plan and again on the 1920 edition of the six-inch map, where it was marked with hachures, the conventional cartographic shorthand for an earthwork or enclosure. By 1996 it had been listed in the Record of Monuments and Places simply as an enclosure, a classification that captures something of how ambiguous the remains had become by that point. In its original form, the cashel would have been a subcircular enclosure roughly fourteen metres across internally and an estimated twenty-three metres in total diameter, with a wall around one and a third metres wide at the north. A later drystone field wall extends northward from the structure, suggesting the site was reused or built around in a subsequent period. More damaging has been a track or clearing cut through the woodland, which has destroyed the cashel wall along the arc between north and east, removing any chance of reading that section of the monument.

The surviving masonry is densest and most legible at the northern side, where the wall width can still be measured and a few facing-stones remain visible beneath the encroaching moss and vegetation. The rest is dense undergrowth and a general sense of subsidence, the interior hollow just perceptibly lower than the surrounding woodland floor. It is the kind of site where knowing what to look for matters more than the looking itself.
