A rath is an early medieval enclosed farmstead, typically circular, defined by one or more earthen banks and ditches, and this example has been slowly absorbed by the working landscape around it until only a curved arc of bank remains, running from east to south. That arc rises to about 1.5 metres on the interior and to roughly 3 metres on the exterior where it sits atop a natural scarp, making it noticeably more imposing when viewed from outside. The rest of the enclosure has been erased, and modern field fences now cut across the interior, severing the northern portion entirely from what can still be read on the ground.

The site has left a paper trail across nearly a century of mapping and observation. The 1842 Ordnance Survey six-inch map recorded it as an oval platform, approximately 40 metres on its south-west to north-east axis and around 22 metres across, the whole enclosure still legible enough to be hachured in full. By 1903 and again on the 1943 revision, the cartographers were already indicating much of the enclosure through field boundaries rather than earthworks, a quiet acknowledgement of how thoroughly the farmland had swallowed it. A researcher named Hartnett, writing in 1939, described the south-east quadrant as a raised platform standing about five feet high, and noted a trace of bank to the north of the enclosure's edge, a detail that does not appear on the earlier map and hints that the original extent may have been somewhat larger, or that earthworks survived in that area which later disappeared.

The rath now sits in pasture, and what a visitor can actually see amounts to that eastern and southern arc of bank, still substantial where it crowns the scarp, and the truncated interior divided by fencing. It is a site that rewards patience with maps as much as with fieldwork, where the layered OS records tell as much about gradual erasure over a century as any single visit to the field could.
