Drumlins, those elongated hills of glacial debris that ripple across the Ulster landscape, were favoured sites for early fortifications precisely because their natural elevation provided both visibility and a degree of defence. This one carries the remains of a ringfort, roughly subcircular in plan, stretching about 37 metres north-west to south-east and 33 metres in the perpendicular direction.

What survives is a slight earthen bank or scarp rising to around two metres, separated from an outer earthen bank by a fosse, a type of defensive ditch, whose top measures roughly 3.5 metres across. Ringforts of this kind, known in Irish as raths, were the most common form of rural enclosure in early medieval Ireland, typically serving as enclosed farmsteads for a single family or small community rather than military strongholds in the conventional sense. The outer bank here has been absorbed into a later field boundary to the south and north-west, which is how many such monuments survive, folded into the agricultural landscape rather than preserved apart from it. The most likely position of the original entrance appears to have been at the south-east, where the defensive works have been partially removed, and a modern drain runs outside the outer bank to the south-south-west and north-west.
