What remains visible is a cashel, the term used for a ringfort built from stone rather than earth and timber, and this one measures approximately 35 metres northeast to southwest and 30 metres northwest to southeast. Its defining wall, built from horizontally laid stones, still stands between 0.4 and 1.4 metres in places, with collapsed material spilling against both the exterior and interior faces, particularly on the western side. The ground drops away sharply to the south, which suggests the site was chosen with some deliberate attention to the surrounding terrain.

The cashel sits within a large multiperiod field system, meaning the landscape around it carries the accumulated marks of many different periods of use, layers of boundary-making and land management that long predate and postdate any single monument. The structure itself appears on both the 1842 and 1920 editions of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map, marked with hachures indicating an earthwork or enclosure. A likely early reference comes from the antiquarian Thomas Johnson Westropp, who in 1898 described what may be this very site as a "finely-built but dilapidated ring wall", a phrase that captures something of its condition even then. The heavy vegetation that now covers it has only deepened since.
