Set in level grassland in County Galway, this early medieval rath is poorly preserved, its shape now more implied than declared. A rath, for those unfamiliar with the term, is a ringfort, an enclosed homestead of the early medieval period typically defined by one or more earthen banks and ditches. Here, the enclosure runs roughly subcircular, measuring around 44 metres east to west and 40.5 metres north to south, which would once have made it a reasonably substantial example.

The monument is defined along its western, northern, and south-south-eastern arc by a low bank, while the remaining sections survive only as a scarp, a slight change in ground level where the original earthwork has been worn down or spread by centuries of agricultural activity. Two pairs of parallel field walls cross the site, one pair cutting through at the north-west and south-west, another at the north-east and south-east. These walls, built at some later point as the land was divided and managed for farming, have done quiet damage to the monument, slicing through it at four points and making the original circuit harder to read. It is a common fate for ringforts across Ireland, where the same ground has been worked and reworked across many generations, each era leaving its own marks on top of what came before.
