The remains of a cashel, a type of ringfort defined by a stone rather than earthen enclosure, have been reduced here to a stony bank so poorly preserved that stretches of it have been absorbed into or replaced by a later field wall. The circular area it once defined measures an estimated thirty metres in diameter, and the line of the original enclosure can only be traced with confidence along part of its arc, from north-northeast to southeast. The rest is conjecture, layered over by agricultural boundaries that came long after.

Ringforts of this kind were typically built during the early medieval period, roughly between the fifth and twelfth centuries, and served as enclosed farmsteads for local farming families. This one sits on elevated ground with open views stretching from west to east-northeast, though higher rocky ground to the east and south means it was not entirely commanding in every direction. Underneath the interior, in the northwest sector, a souterrain survives. Souterrains are underground stone-lined passages or chambers, common features within ringforts, thought to have been used for storage, refuge, or both. The fact that it persists while the enclosing walls above ground have largely disappeared is a small irony of survival. Adding further interest to the immediate landscape, another ringfort, recorded as Crumlin Fort, stands immediately to the southwest, making this a site that once existed in close proximity to a neighbour of the same general type.
