Here, that same feature becomes the dividing line between two distinct sites, the southern example described here and its northern neighbour, sitting cheek by jowl in the Co. Longford landscape.

A ringfort, or rath, is the remains of a roughly circular farmstead enclosure, typically dating from the early medieval period in Ireland, between roughly the fifth and twelfth centuries. They were defined by earthen banks, ditches, or a combination of both, and this southern example follows that pattern, though in a worn and modest form. The raised circular interior measures approximately forty metres in diameter. Around the western and north-western arc, a low bank of earth and stone survives, between four metres wide and no more than seven-tenths of a metre high in places. Along other sections of the circuit, the enclosure is marked only by a low scarp, a slight step in the ground rather than a built bank, rising to under a metre. The fosse separating the two ringforts is shallow, around five metres wide and less than half a metre deep, but it is visible across much of the circuit. On the eastern side, an outer bank and an outer fosse add a further layer of definition, suggesting the enclosure was once more elaborately bounded on that side. No trace of the original entrance has been identified.
