Standing in the gently undulating pasture at Cregg, you are within sight of a second ringfort just 250 metres to the north, which raises an obvious question about who once lived here, and whether the two enclosures were contemporary, related, or simply neighbours across centuries of separate occupation.

The monument itself is a rath, the Irish term for a roughly circular or oval earthen enclosure that served as a farmstead during the early medieval period, typically between the fifth and twelfth centuries. This one takes a slightly irregular, roughly D-shaped form, measuring about 20 metres north to south and 16 metres east to west. It sits on a slight east-facing slope, enclosed by a low broad bank of earth and stone, around three metres wide but only about 20 centimetres in internal height, so its profile is more suggestion than statement. There is no fosse, the external ditch that commonly accompanies such banks, visible at ground level. Along the western and north-western arc, the internal base of the bank is revetted with a single row of limestone rubble, a detail easy to miss but significant, since it indicates some degree of deliberate construction rather than simple soil accumulation. The southern side of the bank is the best preserved; towards the south-east and east-south-east it has almost disappeared. More substantially, the bank and part of the interior have been removed from the north and east-south-east, leaving the site's edge defined by an irregular low scarp running roughly north-west to south-east. The original entrance cannot be identified.
