The remains belong to a cashel, the term used for a stone-walled ringfort, the circular or roughly circular enclosures that were the dominant form of rural settlement in early medieval Ireland, typically associated with a farming family of some local status. What survives here has not fared especially well. The cashel is subrectangular rather than the more common circular plan, measuring around 53 metres along its main north-north-east to south-south-west axis, and its defining drystone wall has largely collapsed. To complicate matters further, a later field wall was built directly over the rubble, absorbing the earlier structure into the everyday geometry of agricultural land division and making it harder to read the original enclosure at a glance.
