What survives is a rath, a type of ringfort typically constructed as a defended farmstead during the first millennium, enclosed by earthen banks and a fosse, the term for a rock-cut or earthen ditch. This particular example measures roughly 41.5 metres in diameter, placing it within the common range for a single-family agricultural enclosure, though little of it now reads clearly from ground level.

The site is poorly preserved, and its surviving elements tell their own uneven story of erosion and time. The inner bank, the principal enclosing element, survives most clearly from the north around to the north-east. Elsewhere, the original bank has worn down to a scarp, a sloped edge in the earth rather than a distinct raised feature. The fosse and outer bank are legible from the west around to the north, suggesting that this side of the enclosure escaped the worst of whatever agricultural or natural processes gradually reduced the rest. Two concentric banks with an intervening ditch would once have given this rath a more substantial appearance than most, as single-bank examples are far more common across Ireland. That additional circuit hints at a degree of status or defensiveness, though without excavation it is impossible to say more.
