What remains is the smaller fragment, a patch of scrub no more than nineteen metres across, sitting on a northward-sloping pasture with open views in every direction.

The site is a rath, the Irish term for a ringfort, which was the most common form of rural settlement in early medieval Ireland. Typically, a rath consisted of a roughly circular area enclosed by one or more earthen banks, often accompanied by a fosse, the external ditch from which material was dug to build the bank. Here, no fosse was ever recorded, and the surviving bank of earth and stone is modest, standing between around half a metre on the interior and up to one metre at its highest. The original entrance into the enclosure is no longer recognisable. The northwest to southeast field boundary that bisects the site is a later imposition, the kind of agricultural rationalisation that has quietly erased or interrupted countless such monuments across the Irish landscape over the centuries. The portion that once lay to the southwest is simply gone.
