No earthwork rises above the soil, no bank or ditch breaks the surface, and the field sits quietly beside a modern house with nothing to announce its age. What remains is the entrance to a souterrain, an underground passage or chamber built from drystone walling without mortar, of the kind commonly associated with early medieval settlement in Ireland. These structures were typically used for storage or, in some accounts, as places of refuge. Here, the souterrain is essentially all that survives of what was almost certainly a rath, a ringfort of the kind that once numbered in the tens of thousands across Ireland, consisting of a circular earthen bank enclosing a farmstead.

The site had already been largely erased by the time cartographers recorded it with any precision. The Ordnance Survey six-inch map of 1837 makes no mention of it at all, suggesting the enclosure was already gone or too faint to note. By the 1913 edition, however, a semi-circular hachured area appears, curving from west to southeast, measuring approximately 27 metres northwest to southeast and 17 metres northeast to southwest, with the western arc cut off by a field boundary running on a northwest to southeast axis. That boundary likely contributed to the levelling of whatever earthwork remained. When the site was inspected in more recent times, the field was being used as a vegetable garden, a mundane and practical use of ground that had once enclosed early medieval life.
