What was once a circular earthwork, somewhere between thirty and thirty-five metres across, has been levelled entirely. The faintest outline of a circular area, reduced now to perhaps twenty to twenty-five metres in diameter, is barely discernible beneath the pasture.

The 1922 Ordnance Survey six-inch map recorded the enclosure clearly enough to suggest it was still legible at that point, marked as a roughly circular form on the ridge. It is classified as a possible rath, the term used for the circular earthen enclosures, typically defined by a bank and ditch, that served as farmsteads and settlement sites during early medieval Ireland. The ridge setting is consistent with that type; raths were often positioned on elevated ground with good sightlines, and this one looks out particularly well to the north and north-east across the undulating landscape. Somewhere between the mapping of 1922 and the present, the earthwork was levelled, almost certainly by agricultural activity, leaving only the ghost of its outline in the soil beneath the grass.
