A roughly circular raised area, about 39 metres across, it is defined by an earthen bank that rises a modest 0.6 metres on the interior side but climbs to a more imposing 3 metres when measured from the outside to the east, south, and west. That asymmetry is part of what makes a rath, as this type of ringfort is known, so quietly interesting: what looks from the inside like a gentle rim reveals itself, from outside, as a substantial defensive or enclosing wall of compacted earth.

A second bank once encircled at least part of the site as well, recorded on an Ordnance Survey six-inch map from 1938 with hachuring to the northeast and west, and a portion of it still survives to the west. The interior has been further complicated over time: a modern laneway cuts across the northern side, truncating the enclosed area, and both the banks and the interior are heavily overgrown. Perhaps the most compelling feature lies in the western half of the enclosure, where a souterrain runs underground. A souterrain is a man-made underground passage or chamber, typically built during the early medieval period from roughly the sixth to the twelfth centuries, and associated with nearby settlement. They are thought to have served as storage spaces, places of refuge, or both. The presence of one here suggests that this rath was once part of a functioning farmstead or small settlement, likely of early medieval date, even if nothing above ground now hints at that domestic life.

The site sits in working agricultural land, and the overgrowth makes detailed inspection difficult. The surviving western bank gives the clearest sense of the original scale of the earthwork, and the 1938 map record provides a useful reminder of how much the second bank has diminished over the intervening decades.
