What survives is a cropmark, a ghost of the original earthwork readable only from the air. In dry summers, the buried ditches of the old enclosure cause the grass or grain above them to grow at a slightly different rate, producing faint colour variations that become legible in aerial photographs. It is from these photographs alone that we know the site exists at all.

The enclosure sits on a gentle south-east-facing slope and shows the characteristic form of a rath, the Irish term for a ringfort, which was a farmstead enclosed by one or more earthen banks and ditches during the early medieval period, broadly between the fifth and twelfth centuries. This particular example was defined by two fosse features, a fosse being a ditch dug to create both a barrier and, with the upcast soil, a surrounding bank. The inner fosse is notably wider than the outer, which is a somewhat unusual arrangement. The interior diameter measures around 35 metres, with the outer extent reaching approximately 60 metres across. More puzzling still is the absence of any entrance gap in either feature. Entrances are almost universally present in known ringforts, so either the gap has been completely obscured over time, or the aerial evidence has not yet resolved it clearly enough to show one.
