What survives is just enough to confirm that something once stood here, and just little enough to make it easy to walk past without registering what it was.

The site is a rath, the most common type of early medieval enclosure in Ireland, typically consisting of a roughly circular or oval area defined by one or more earthen banks and an external ditch, known as a fosse. Such enclosures generally served as enclosed farmsteads, home to a family of some local standing, and they were built in their thousands across the Irish countryside between roughly the fifth and twelfth centuries. This example is oval in plan, measuring approximately 68 metres north to south and 58 metres east to west, which would have made it a reasonably substantial enclosure. The southern and western sections of the bank and its fosse are the best preserved portions of what remains, but from the northern arc around through the east and back to the south, the bank has been bulldozed flat and the fosse filled in. Two ponds now sit at the north-east and east of the site, occupying ground that was once part of or adjacent to the enclosure. Within the surviving interior, a cashel-type building ground feature has also been recorded, suggesting the rath once contained a more complex arrangement of structures than its current battered condition implies.

The surviving southern and western arc of the bank offers the clearest sense of the original enclosure's scale, though even here the earthwork is poorly defined. The grassland setting and the gentle slope of the ridge mean the remaining earthworks can be difficult to read at ground level, and the infilled sections give no obvious indication of what has been lost.
