The combination suggests two distinct moments of human effort: first the raising of the original earthen ring, then a later decision to reinforce or repurpose it with stone. The result is a roughly circular enclosure about twenty-five metres across, sitting on a low rise just east of a derelict farmhouse, the whole thing half-swallowed by the surrounding pasture.

This is a rath, the most common type of early medieval settlement monument in Ireland. A rath is essentially a farmstead enclosed by one or more earthen banks and ditches, typically dating to somewhere between the sixth and tenth centuries, though many remained in use or were modified long afterwards. The earthen bank here is relatively modest, rising about thirty-five centimetres on its outer face and twenty centimetres on the interior, but the dry-stone wall built on top of it reaches a height of 1.3 metres with a width of around a metre, giving the enclosure considerably more presence than the earthwork alone would suggest. That kind of overlay is not unusual in the Irish countryside, where later generations often found a ready-made boundary and simply built on it. The site was recorded by Denis Power and uploaded to the national record in August 2011.

Access to the interior is partial at best. The western side offers the clearest way in, but dense overgrowth covers much of the enclosed area, and the ground itself dips downward toward the centre rather than remaining level, which is sometimes associated with the gradual subsidence of earlier features below the surface. The farmhouse immediately to the west is derelict, so the approach is through working pasture rather than any managed path. Visitors should expect uneven ground, obscured stonework, and the particular atmosphere of a place that has not been tidied up for an audience. The wall is most clearly read from the outside, where the scale of the stone course above the earthen bank becomes apparent.
