This circular earthwork, measuring between 17.5 and 18.8 metres in internal diameter, sits roughly 1.5 metres above the surrounding landscape, its southern side sloping gently downward. The defensive structure consists of an earthen bank, still visible at up to half a metre in height, accompanied by an external fosse or ditch that ranges from 0.5 to 1 metre in width.

A single entrance gap, approximately 2 metres wide, breaks through the northwestern quadrant of the enclosure, marking where residents would have once entered and exited this protected space. Like many ringforts across Ireland, this example would have housed an extended family group during the early medieval period, with the raised platform providing both drainage and a commanding view of the surrounding countryside. The bank and ditch combination offered security against cattle raids and other threats common to rural life in medieval Ireland.

Unfortunately, 19th century tree planting significantly disturbed the site, obscuring some of its original features beneath roots and undergrowth. Despite this disruption, the basic structure remains discernible to those who know what to look for; a testament to the thousands of similar ringforts that once dotted the Irish landscape, serving as the backbone of rural settlement patterns for centuries.
