The enclosure is oval rather than the more typical circle, measuring roughly 40 metres east to west and 32 metres north to south, and whoever built it was working with an awkward, south-facing hillslope. To compensate, the interior was deliberately raised on its southern side, a piece of practical earthmoving that speaks to considered effort rather than casual occupation. A gap roughly four metres wide to the north-north-west still functions as a recognisable gateway, and the outer ditch, or fosse, survives on the south-west and west-north-west arc, though heavily overgrown and partly followed now by a land drain.

At the centre of the interior sits a stone structure approximately eight metres by six, its eastern side formed by a curving wall standing about 1.2 metres high and 1.6 metres thick. Overgrowth has made it difficult to interpret fully, but the presence of a possible souterrain, an underground passage or chamber of the kind commonly associated with Early Medieval settlement in Ireland, adds another layer of ambiguity. Souterrains were typically used for storage or refuge, and their presence within a rath, the Irish term for an earthen-banked ringfort, is not unusual, but it does suggest this was once a working farmstead of some consequence. The earthen bank itself survives to an internal height of around 0.9 metres along its south-west to east-south-east arc, with steep natural scarping doing much of the defensive work elsewhere, and some of that scarp is faced with large stones. A later stone field fence runs along the top of the bank from south-west to north, folding this early medieval boundary into the more recent agricultural landscape of reclaimed pasture that now surrounds it.
