Life simply continued around them, and eventually against them. The ringfort itself, a rath, is a type of enclosed farmstead dating broadly to the early medieval period, roughly the fifth to twelfth centuries, when a circular earthen bank and accompanying ditch offered a household a degree of security and status. Here, that boundary has been reused rather than respected, with a farm structure constructed directly outside the eastern bank, the same side as the original entrance.

The enclosure is a modest but legible one. A roughly circular area some 30.5 metres across from north to south is ringed by an earthen bank that stands about 1.5 metres high on the interior and just over 2 metres on the exterior, with a shallow external fosse, essentially a ditch, dug to a depth of around 0.45 metres. The entrance gap to the east measures five metres across, wide enough for livestock and carts, which is typical of how these sites functioned in daily agricultural life. The bank is noticeably lower and narrower along the north-western to northern arc, and at the northern to east-north-eastern stretch, earthen material appears to have been dumped onto the bank and spread a short distance into the interior, suggesting some disturbance or secondary use over the centuries. The interior is now overgrown, the accumulated growth of a site that has been neither excavated nor cleared.
