A rath, the most common type of Irish ringfort, was originally a circular or subcircular earthen enclosure, typically surrounding a farmstead and its associated buildings during the early medieval period. This one measures roughly forty metres east to west and thirty-eight metres north to south, and what survives is uneven: a proper bank still traces the arc from north around through east to the south-east, but elsewhere the enclosing element has been reduced to a low scarp, nowhere rising above about one and a half metres. At the north-west the picture is more abrupt; the earthwork has simply been quarried away.

The quarrying tells its own story. Across Ireland, ringforts were frequently robbed for stone or levelled when they got in the way of agricultural improvement, and the damage here fits that familiar pattern. What makes this site marginally more complex is the presence of a collapsed burial ground within the interior. In the classification system used by Irish archaeologists, a CBG denotes a children's burial ground, sometimes called a cillín, one of the informal, unconsecrated burial sites used for unbaptised infants and occasionally others excluded from parish cemeteries. Their association with older enclosures is well documented; a pre-existing earthwork would often carry enough residual sanctity, or simply enough useful separateness from the ordinary landscape, to serve this purpose across many generations. The burial ground here carries its own separate record number, GA074-004001, indicating it has been catalogued independently from the rath that contains it.
