Not on any edition of the six-inch maps, it went uncharted for generations, visible only once aerial imagery made it possible to read the landscape from above. It sits in rough, rush-grown upland pasture, close to the break of slope at the south-eastern end of the ridge, where the ground falls away steeply on either side, dropping into a valley to the east and opening out towards Lough Arrow to the west.

A rath, as this type of enclosure is known, is a roughly circular earthwork, typically dating from the early medieval period and used as a farmstead or settlement enclosed by an earthen bank and ditch. This example is a broadly oval area, about 27 metres on its shorter axis and 31 metres on its longer one, defined not by a substantial bank but by a low scarp and undulation no more than 0.45 metres in height. The interior is level and largely featureless, with one quiet exception: a small, sod-covered stony heap, roughly 2 metres across and 0.3 metres high, sitting close to the western edge of the enclosure. Its purpose is unclear. A second rath lies just 100 metres to the north-west along the same ridge, making this a paired arrangement on a single elevated spine of land, a configuration that raises obvious questions about how the two sites related to one another and who once moved between them. The site was brought to light by Andrew Goodison, whose observation ensured it was finally placed on record.
