Ringforts, also known as raths or cashels depending on their construction, were enclosed farmsteads built predominantly during the early medieval period in Ireland, typically consisting of a circular bank and ditch protecting a domestic interior. This one carries the designation cashel, which usually signals a stone-built enclosure, though here earth and stones are combined in the bank that still rings what remains of the site.

The monument appears on the 1924 Ordnance Survey six-inch map as a roughly circular area measuring approximately thirty metres east to west and twenty-five metres north to south, enclosed by a bank and fosse, the fosse being the accompanying outer ditch. When surveyor Denis Power compiled records for the site, uploaded in May 2013, the picture that emerged was one of gradual erosion and more recent interference. The enclosure had by then shifted slightly from circular to sub-oval, measuring 30.6 metres east to west. The earthen and stone bank, reaching an internal height of 0.9 metres and a width of nearly two metres, had been worn down along its eastern to western arc into little more than a scarped edge. A fosse is still detectable at the western side, though rubble dumping has obscured much of it. That same dumping, along with dense scrub growth, has rendered the northern half of the interior entirely inaccessible.

The site sits immediately south of a field boundary, which helps locate it on the ground, though the steep slope and encroaching vegetation make a proper circuit of the bank difficult. The southern arc is the more legible portion, where the bank retains some readable height and definition. The rubble deposited around the northern and western sections is the most visually disruptive element, obscuring both the fosse and the outer face of the bank in that area. Visiting in late winter or early spring, before vegetation thickens further, would give the best chance of reading the earthwork with any clarity.
