Two low parallel banks cross the interior on a roughly north-east to south-west axis, with a slightly sunken gap of around six metres between them; that hollow is the ghost of a road or trackway recorded on the 1837 Ordnance Survey six-inch map, long since disused but still legible in the ground. It is a quietly odd collision of timescales, a routeway that was probably worn down to nothing before living memory, cutting through a site that predates it by perhaps a thousand years or more.

A rath is an earthen ringfort, the most common monument type surviving from early medieval Ireland, typically the enclosed farmstead of a single family and their livestock. This one sits in level pasture a short distance west of a north-south ridge, and measures roughly twenty-five metres in diameter. Its defining feature is a double bank arrangement: an outer earthen bank, about 3.8 metres wide, that retains a pronounced external slope of up to 1.5 metres despite being largely levelled on its north-west to north-east arc, and an inner bank that mirrors its curve from the east around to the west. A gap of about two metres separates the two. Whether the inner bank was part of the original design or a later addition is not certain; it may reflect a phase of modification rather than the rath's primary construction. What survives is enough to read the form clearly, even if the full biography of the site remains open.
