It sits on a north-facing slope, absorbed into farmland, leaving no visible trace at ground level for anyone who happens to walk across it. The only reliable evidence that it ever existed is a map, drawn over 180 years ago, which shows a clear circular enclosure roughly 45 metres in diameter.

Ringforts, known in Irish as raths, were the most common form of enclosed settlement in early medieval Ireland, typically consisting of a raised circular bank and ditch surrounding a homestead. They were built and occupied broadly between the sixth and tenth centuries, though many continued in use or were adapted long after that. The 1842 Ordnance Survey six-inch map, one of the most detailed cartographic records of the Irish landscape ever produced, captured this particular site as a legible enclosure with a scarped section running from the north-east around to the west, and a bank continuing from the west to the north. At that point, enough of the structure was still readable on the land to be worth recording. At some point since then, it was levelled, ploughed, or simply weathered into invisibility, leaving the map entry as the primary proof of its existence.
