What survives is a subcircular rath, a type of enclosed farmstead typical of early medieval Ireland, roughly 32 metres north to south and 29 metres east to west. A rath of this kind would originally have consisted of a raised earthen bank and an external fosse, that is, a ditch dug to provide the material for the bank and to reinforce the enclosure. Here, though, that sequence of bank and fosse has been interrupted: from the north-north-west, around through north, to the north-north-east, no surface trace of either feature has survived.

What remains is further complicated, or perhaps framed, by a field bank and trackway that encircle the monument. These later agricultural features follow the perimeter of the rath closely enough to suggest that whoever laid them out was working around something they recognised as already there, even as the enclosure itself was gradually losing definition. The site was documented in the Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II, covering North Galway, compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra, and Paul Gosling and published by the Stationery Office in Dublin in 1999.

The partial survival of the fosse on the southern and eastern arcs, combined with the near-total loss of earthwork on the northern side, gives the site a lopsided quality that is quietly informative. It illustrates how readily these monuments can be erased by ploughing, drainage, or simply the slow pressure of agricultural use across many centuries, while a remnant continues to influence how the land around it is managed and divided.
