Drumlins, those smooth egg-shaped hills shaped by glacial drift, were frequently chosen as sites for ringforts precisely because the natural elevation gave both visibility and a degree of defensibility. This particular example measures around 33.5 metres north to south and 32 metres east to west, making it a reasonably substantial example of its type.

A ringfort, or rath, is an enclosed farmstead dating broadly from the early medieval period, roughly the fifth to twelfth centuries. The enclosure was formed not by a single construction but by a bank and an outer fosse, the fosse being a surrounding ditch that provided material for the bank and added an extra barrier. Here, the bank on the western side still measures over six metres wide and reaches an external height of about 1.4 metres, with the accompanying fosse surviving at the base to just under two metres wide. What complicates the picture slightly is a later stone wall laid over the earthen bank on the west, suggesting the site was reused or modified at some point after its original construction. On the eastern side, a field wall and hedge running roughly north-north-west to south-south-east cuts across the perimeter, reducing the bank to a low scarp just 0.65 metres high. The layering of these different interventions, early medieval earthwork, later stonework, modern field boundary, is what makes a site like this quietly legible as a record of long habitation in a small place.
