The name appears in a 1914 reference by Neary, suggesting that whatever memory or association attached to this particular patch of raised ground was still alive in the early twentieth century, even as the structure itself was falling into a poor state of preservation. That combination, a place worn down by time yet still carrying a name, gives it a quiet kind of persistence.

The fort is a rath, the most common type of ringfort found across Ireland, typically consisting of a roughly circular or oval area enclosed by one or more earthen banks and ditches. This example measures approximately 38.5 metres east to west and 24 metres north to south, making it a modest but not insignificant enclosure. What survives is defined by an inner scarp, an intervening fosse (the ditch between the inner and outer earthworks), and an outer bank. The fosse can be traced from the western side around through the north to the north-east, and the outer bank holds from the west to the north, though much of the circuit has been lost. A gap on the eastern side may represent the original entrance, a feature common to raths of this type, where a deliberate break in the enclosure served as the approach. A second ringfort lies roughly 300 metres to the east, which is a reminder that these structures rarely existed in isolation; they were the homesteads of early medieval farming families, and clusters of them across a landscape suggest long-settled, organised communities.
