The rath, a type of ringfort consisting of an earthen bank and surrounding ditch that would once have enclosed a farmstead or small settlement in early medieval Ireland, has been divided so that only its southern half survives in any recognisable form. The northern portion is simply gone, lost to whatever route-making logic once dictated that this was a convenient place to lay down a road.

The original circular form was recorded on the first edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map, which shows the enclosure intact enough to be traced. What remains on the ground today is a bank and an external fosse, the fosse being the ditch dug outside the bank, and the two together would have formed a modest but defensible perimeter across a diameter of roughly 34 metres. The fosse is now most legible not as a physical depression but as a darker band of vegetation, the kind of subtle colour shift that rewards anyone paying attention to the grass rather than looking for obvious earthworks. The setting is undulating grassland, and the rath sits within it quietly, the surviving southern arc easy to miss unless you know what you are looking at.
