The rath itself is a textbook example of a univallate type, meaning it has a single enclosing bank rather than the multiple concentric rings that mark more elaborate examples. What sets this particular site apart is what sits within: a low earthen mound, roughly eight metres by ten, positioned in the western sector of the interior. Mounds found inside raths are not common, and their purpose is rarely straightforward. They may represent the remains of a raised platform, a burial feature, or some other structure whose original function has been obscured by centuries of gradual collapse and overgrowth.

The rath itself is well-preserved in the broader sense. A high, clearly defined earthen bank still rings the enclosed area, and an external fosse, the ditch dug to provide the material for the bank and to add a further barrier, remains visible around the perimeter. There is an entrance, and a fieldbank meets the site on its eastern side just to the south of that gap, suggesting the surrounding landscape was organised and managed around the monument even after it had long passed out of primary use. The site was documented as part of the North Kerry Archaeological Survey, published in 1995 by Catherine Toal, a systematic effort to record the archaeological heritage of the region before it could be lost to development or agricultural change.
