The site is a rath, the most common type of early medieval enclosure in Ireland, typically consisting of an earthen bank and ditch thrown up around a single household or small family group. This particular example measures roughly 40 metres in diameter, its boundary now reduced to a low bank of earth and stone that follows the old circuit in a broken, softened arc.

Within the south-western quadrant of the interior, there is a possible house site, a faint depression or platform hinting at where a timber or wattle structure may once have stood. The site was recorded by McCaffrey in 1952, suggesting it was already in poor condition by the mid-twentieth century. That it survives at all in recognisable form, even degraded as it is, is a quiet reminder that the Irish landscape holds many such outlines, the residue of an agricultural world that persisted largely unchanged from around the fifth to the twelfth century.
