The site is a rath, the most common type of ringfort in Ireland, typically a circular area surrounded by an earthen bank and ditch that would have sheltered a family, their livestock, and their small buildings during the early medieval period. What makes this one quietly interesting is how little it now announces itself. The bank has degraded to the point where its internal height measures only about fifteen centimetres, rising to roughly forty centimetres on the exterior, and the whole enclosure spans just over seventeen metres across its northeast to southwest axis. It is a faint impression rather than a monument.

The roughly circular shape is still legible on the ground, and a two-metre gap on the south-southeast side is thought to mark the original entrance, though it is now partly blocked with boulders. The southern half of the interior sits slightly higher than the northern, a detail that may reflect how the ground was managed or built up during the site's period of use. Scattered across the southern and southeastern portions of the interior are field clearance stones and boulders, deposited there over generations by farmers working the surrounding land. This kind of secondary accumulation is common on low-lying ringforts, where the enclosed space becomes a convenient dump for stones turned up by the plough, gradually obscuring whatever earthwork survives beneath.
