What survives today is essentially a scarp, a slope of between one and one point three metres, tracing the edge of a roughly circular area about fifty metres in diameter. It is the remnant of a rath, the Irish term for a ringfort, a type of enclosed farmstead that was the most common form of rural settlement in early medieval Ireland. Thousands were built across the country, most of them between roughly the sixth and tenth centuries, and this is one of the less conspicuous survivors.

A report from 1976 recorded considerably more than is visible now. At that point the raised circular area was still defined by a low bank of earth and stone, with an intervening fosse, a defensive ditch running between the inner and any outer elements, and a short segment of an outer bank at the south-west. Within the interior, also at the south-west, there was a possible house site, suggesting at least one domestic structure once stood inside the enclosure. Since that survey, the site has lost much of that definition. The fosse has left no visible surface trace, the outer bank has gone the same way, and the eastern side of the scarp has been partially levelled. The original entrance, which in comparable sites is often marked by a gap or a causeway across the fosse, is no longer recognisable on the ground.
