Most ringforts, the circular enclosed farmsteads that dot the Irish countryside in their thousands and date broadly to the early medieval period, make do with a single bank and ditch. This one has two concentric earthen banks with a fosse, a defensive ditch, running between them. That extra ring of defence suggests a household that felt the need for something more substantial than the norm.

The site was recorded and compiled by Denis Power, with notes uploaded in August 2011. The interior is roughly circular, measuring just under 29 metres across in both directions, and sits atop a ridge that gives wide views over the surrounding countryside, which would have made it easier to spot approaching trouble as well as a practical vantage point for monitoring livestock and land below. The inner bank is better preserved on its north-western to eastern arc, where it still stands to an external height of around 1.15 metres, though it flattens into something more scarp-like as it continues east toward the south. The outer bank, which reaches an internal height of 2.1 metres at its best, is most intact along the northern stretch. Two gaps break the outer bank, one at the south-east measuring just over 2 metres wide and a narrower one to the south at roughly 1 metre, and these likely mark original entrance points rather than later erosion.

The site sits in pasture, so the surrounding farmland remains in agricultural use and any visit should respect that. The interior has been colonised by mature deciduous trees, which gives the enclosed space a noticeably different quality from the open ridge around it, the canopy muffling sound and the ground sloping gently downward toward the south. The tree cover makes it harder to read the earthworks clearly from inside, so walking the outer perimeter first gives the best sense of the banks' scale and the way the fosse sits between them. The gaps in the outer bank at the south and south-east are the obvious points of entry and correspond to the places where the structure is most legible as a designed threshold rather than a simple boundary.
