One half of the enclosure is now a garden; the other half retains an arc of earthen bank, overgrown with trees and bushes, curving along the western side of the lane like a forgotten boundary.

A rath is an earthen ringfort, the most common type of early medieval enclosed settlement in Ireland, typically built and occupied between roughly the fifth and twelfth centuries. They served as farmsteads, their banks and ditches defining a protected space for a family, their livestock, and their outbuildings. This particular example, on a south-facing slope just north of a road in County Sligo, survives in a fragmentary state. The 1914 Ordnance Survey six-inch map recorded it as a roughly circular embanked enclosure about thirty metres in diameter, oriented along a north-north-west to south-south-east axis. By that point the lane already bisected it, a division that has only deepened with time. The surviving western arc of bank stands between half a metre and one metre high and roughly three metres wide, modest dimensions but enough to trace the original circuit. On the eastern side, the bank has been levelled entirely, absorbed into the garden ground it now borders.
