It measures roughly 45 metres north to south and 48 metres east to west, which places it at the more substantial end of what surveyors class as a rath, the Irish term for a ringfort enclosed by an earthen bank and ditch rather than stone walling. A causewayed entrance gap, just over two metres wide, breaks the enclosure at the south-east, the kind of formal opening that would once have given deliberate, controlled access to whoever lived or worked within.

The enclosing bank, built from earth and stone, is now poorly preserved across much of its circuit. Where it has fared best is along the north-east to east arc; everywhere else it has been worn down to little more than a scarp, a low shelf in the ground rather than a recognisable bank. Along the south-east to west-south-west stretch, the bank has been absorbed entirely into a field boundary fence, a fate that is quietly common among Irish ringforts, where the convenience of a ready-made linear feature has seen ancient earthworks repurposed into modern field divisions over generations of farming. The shallow external fosse, the ditch that once ran around the outside of the bank, survives in similarly reduced form. Inside, the ground slopes from north-west down to south-east, and faint traces of cultivation ridges running north-east to south-west suggest that at some point after the enclosure fell out of use, the interior was put under tillage. Aerial photography from November 2011 confirms how much has been lost in recent decades: by that date the bank survived only along the south-south-east to west arc, with the rest levelled entirely.

One further detail places this site in a broader local pattern. Another ringfort lies just 160 metres to the north-east, close enough that the two enclosures would have been near neighbours in whatever early medieval landscape produced them. The pairing is a reminder that these sites were once ordinary features of a settled countryside, not isolated curiosities but components of a farmed and inhabited world that is now visible only in outline.
