Sitting on a high ridge above gently undulating pasture, with open views across the landscape to the north, east, and south, this rath once formed a near-complete circular enclosure. A rath is an early medieval earthwork, typically a raised circular bank of earth enclosing a domestic settlement, and this one would have been a substantial example. Measuring roughly 61 metres on its longest axis and 38 metres across, it was never a small or modest structure. The problem is that the northern half has been levelled entirely, leaving the site as a broad D-shape visible in aerial photography, the geometry just legible enough to suggest what was once there.

When the monument was formally described in 1970, what remained was already a partial record of its original form. The enclosing bank survives only on the western side. Elsewhere, the site is defined by a scarp, a steep earthen slope left where material has been removed or collapsed over time, running from the south-east around through the south and on to the west, reaching a height of around 2.8 metres at its most pronounced. A further scarp extends outward from the perimeter at the south-east, its original function unclear. The interior, where the bank and scarp still protect it, slopes gently toward the east-north-east. No original entrance survives in a recognisable form, which is not unusual for a site that has seen this degree of alteration. Agricultural land improvement, rather than any single dramatic event, is the likely explanation for the levelling of the northern portion.
