Most ringforts, the roughly circular farmstead enclosures built throughout early medieval Ireland between roughly the fifth and twelfth centuries, have at least one identifiable gap in their boundary where a gate or passage once stood. This one, a cashel, which is the specific term for a ringfort whose enclosing boundary is built from stone rather than earthen bank and ditch, shows no such feature. Whether it was always this way, or whether time and disturbance have simply erased the evidence, is not recorded.

The enclosure sits atop an east-west ridge and measures thirty-two metres across its north-south axis. Its stone bank survives to between thirty centimetres and half a metre in height, and runs to around one and a half metres in width, modest dimensions but enough to mark out the space with some clarity. Inside, natural rock outcrops break through the ground surface, suggesting the builders worked around and with the underlying geology rather than clearing it away. A second ringfort is visible to the north-east, close enough that the two sites would have been in plain sight of one another, hinting at a settled, organised upland community whose traces have otherwise largely faded from view.
