A substantial univallate rath, meaning a ringfort enclosed by a single bank and ditch, contains within it a series of hollows, mounds, and prostrate stone slabs that resist easy interpretation. A roughly circular hollow near the southern inner face of the bank is about three metres across, possibly the footprint of a small round hut, but the bank is disturbed enough in that sector to make any firm conclusion difficult. Nearby, an L-shaped mound of earth and stone, some four and a half metres long and nearly two metres high, may represent a rectangular structure. The northern interior is busier still, a confusion of ridges and irregular hollows whose stones follow no recognisable pattern, though some linear depressions have been read as evidence of a souterrain, an underground passage or chamber, often used in early medieval Ireland for storage or refuge.

The site was surveyed by Cuppage in 1986, whose careful hedging throughout reflects how genuinely ambiguous the remains are. But one detail anchors the stonework to an earlier witness. O'Sullivan, writing in 1931, described what he found here as a rectangular stone structure about four feet high, roofed with flags, one of which had fallen in. By the time Cuppage examined the site, that structure had collapsed further into the largest of the stone mounds, which by then measured just over five metres east to west and stood about 1.2 metres high. What O'Sullivan could still identify as roofed, Cuppage could only cautiously propose as a possible remains. The site carries that trajectory quietly, each decade making the original forms a little harder to read.
