Sitting roughly 120 metres north of a second ringfort, it is part of a paired arrangement that was not uncommon in early medieval Ireland, suggesting a settlement pattern more complex than a single enclosed farmstead in isolation.

The site itself is a rath, the most common type of ringfort in Ireland, typically a circular or subcircular enclosure built from earthen banks and used as a defended farmstead during the early medieval period, roughly between the fifth and twelfth centuries. This example measures around 55 metres east to west and is defined by two banks with an intervening fosse, the term for the ditch dug between or alongside the banks, the material from which often helped construct the banks themselves. The inner bank still holds its shape to the east and west, though elsewhere the enclosing element has declined to a degraded scarp, a sloped edge of earth rather than a proper raised bank. An entrance survives at the northern side. Less helpfully, a drainage ditch and a road have cut through the enclosing elements between the south-east and south-west, the kind of agricultural and infrastructural intervention that has altered or damaged a great many earthworks across the country over the past few centuries.

The condition is described as fair, which in the context of field archaeology usually means enough survives to read the form clearly, even if it requires some effort to distinguish what is deliberate earthwork from what is natural slope or later disturbance. Given the cuts to the southern section, the northern arc is likely to give the clearest impression of the original double-bank and fosse arrangement.
