Sitting on a hillock on the eastern bank of a river, it commands views in both directions, west to east, and its circular interior, roughly 23 metres by 21 metres, is still legible in the landscape despite centuries of pasture and encroaching rushes. Ringforts, known in Irish as raths, were the typical enclosed farmsteads of early medieval Ireland, usually dating from somewhere between the sixth and tenth centuries. Most consisted of a raised interior surrounded by one or more earthen banks with a ditch, called a fosse, cut between them to reinforce the boundary. This one follows that pattern, with two earthen banks and an intervening fosse still traceable around much of the circuit.

The detail that lifts this site above the ordinary is what survives within those banks. Surveyors noted stone inclusions in both the inner and outer banks, and a large boulder resting against the inner face on the northern side, suggesting that whoever built here supplemented the earthwork with whatever stone lay to hand. More intriguing still is the possible souterrain near the centre of the interior. A souterrain is an underground passage or chamber, typically stone-lined, associated with early medieval settlement and thought to have served for storage, refuge, or both. Its presence here, if confirmed, would point to a settlement of some substance. The site does not stand alone in this landscape either: another rath, also with a souterrain, lies approximately 130 metres to the southwest, raising the possibility that this was once a small cluster of neighbouring farmsteads rather than an isolated enclosure.

The interior is partially covered by rushes, which is a reliable indicator of damp ground and makes close inspection of the central area difficult underfoot. The outer bank is clearest on the southwestern side, where the ground slopes down towards the river, and the fosse is most legible along the southeastern to west-northwest arc. Anyone approaching should expect ordinary farmland conditions; the site sits in pasture and the banks, though eroded, are still visible as distinct earthworks rather than mere undulations in the turf.
