A slight scarp, no more than 35 centimetres high along part of its arc, and a faint trace of a fosse, the shallow ditch that once reinforced the enclosure's outer edge, are almost all that remains visible of a ringfort that was once substantial enough to give this townland its name. A ringfort, or rath, was the standard enclosed farmstead of early medieval Ireland, typically defined by one or more earthen banks and ditches, and housing a family of some local standing. Here, the bank has been reduced to a barely perceptible lip, at most 10 centimetres high in places, and the enclosure itself measures roughly 21 metres across.

What makes the site quietly interesting is the way it appears across successive maps. On the Ordnance Survey six-inch sheet of 1842, the enclosure is shown only as a broken line, suggesting the surveyors themselves were uncertain about what they were recording. By the time the same area was mapped in 1905 and again in 1936, the line had become solid, implying that the feature was then more legible, or at least more confidently identified. A line of trees running along the north-east to south-east arc of the enclosure has since been absorbed into the field boundary system, which is itself a common fate for ringfort earthworks as agricultural landscapes reorganise themselves over centuries. A deep external depression on the same stretch corresponds to a stream marked on the later OS maps, raising the question of how much the monument's erosion owes to drainage and water movement over the intervening period.
