What makes it quietly unusual is its shape: rather than the circular form most associated with Irish ringforts, this is a wedge-shaped enclosure, broader at its eastern end and narrowing toward the west, stretching roughly 60 metres east to west and between 24 and 38 metres across. A cashel, to give it its proper name, is simply a ringfort built from stone rather than earthen banks and ditches, and this one survives well enough to be traced in aerial photography.

The enclosure is defined by a stone wall, and its interior is not simply an open space. An irregular wall running roughly north to south, positioned about 25 metres in from the western end, divides the interior into distinct sections. This kind of internal division is known from other cashels and may reflect the separation of domestic and agricultural functions, though the specific history of this site remains unrecorded beyond its physical outline. It sits within a broader multiperiod field system on the hill, meaning the boundaries, walls, and divisions visible across this landscape were not all laid down at once but accumulated over a very long stretch of time, each generation working around or over what came before.
