Most ringforts, the circular enclosures of stone or earthwork that once served as farmsteads and homesteads across early medieval Ireland, present a straightforward enough shape to the eye. This one offers something extra: a second, smaller enclosure tucked into the north-west quadrant of the interior, a ring within a ring whose purpose is not immediately obvious.

The site is classified as a cashel, meaning its enclosing boundary is built from stone rather than from earthen banks, which suits the local geology well. The surrounding ground is limestone country, with outcrops breaking the surface across the slope, and the builders made use of what lay to hand. The main enclosure measures roughly 27 metres north to south and 26.3 metres east to west, not a large space by any measure, but enough to have sheltered a family and their animals in the early medieval period. The enclosing bank survives to an internal height of around 0.32 metres, though it reads more impressively from outside, rising to 0.85 metres externally, with the natural scarp edge, sharpest on the western side where it reaches 1.75 metres, adding considerably to the visual effect. The bank is best preserved along the north-east to east arc, while the scarp reads most clearly at the west. The interior is level despite the hillside setting, and covered with trees, which both preserves the ground and makes the smaller inner enclosure, measuring roughly 8 metres by 7.5 metres with its own low stone bank, all the more unexpected when you come upon it. The site was compiled by Denis Power and recorded in the national monuments record, with the notes uploaded in August 2011.

The site sits on a west-facing slope, so the approach from the west gives the clearest sense of the outer scarp's height. The scrub and tree cover mean that sightlines are limited once you are inside the enclosure, and the smaller inner ring is easier to make out in winter or early spring when the vegetation is thinner. The limestone outcrops around the site are worth noting underfoot, particularly in wet conditions. There is no formal access infrastructure, so reaching it requires attention to the landscape rather than following any marked path.
