Mapped as a wooded enclosure with a diameter of around 70 metres in 1839, by 1940 the same Ordnance Survey sheets recorded it at roughly 60 metres across. Whether that reflects genuine loss at the edges, the encroachment of farm buildings, or simply the imprecision of successive surveys is not entirely clear, but the trajectory is familiar: a site gradually absorbed by the working landscape around it.

Ringforts, known in Irish as raths, are roughly circular enclosures defined by earthen banks or stone walls, built predominantly during the early medieval period as farmstead enclosures. This one sits on a slight rise on a steep north-west-facing slope of the Bann River valley, with a north-south stream running about 350 metres to the west. A 1956 description recorded it as a subcircular wooded area, roughly 66 metres east to west and 60 metres north to south, defined by a stone-revetted scarp, that is, a steep face reinforced with stone, rising to about 1.5 metres on the western side and tapering to around 0.9 metres at the north. A low earthen bank completed the circuit on the eastern and southern sides. Farm buildings had already pushed onto the south-western perimeter by that point, and spoil from agricultural activity had obscured much of what remained. What survives now is a single exposed stretch of the original stone-faced scarp on the northern arc, running for about 26 metres and still standing to roughly 2 metres in height. That remnant is the clearest indication of what the enclosure once looked like in full, a stone-edged platform carved from a valley slope, commanding a view down towards the Bann.
