This is a cashel, a type of ringfort defined by a drystone wall rather than an earthen bank, and it measures approximately 42.5 metres from north to south. The facing-stones of the wall are visible in places, giving a sense of the careful construction beneath the turf, though several gaps appear to be modern breaks rather than original entrances.

Ringforts of this kind were built predominantly during the early medieval period, roughly between the fifth and twelfth centuries, and served as enclosed farmsteads for farming families of varying social rank. The stone-built variety, the cashel, was common in areas where suitable building material lay close at hand, as it does across much of Connacht. What makes this particular example slightly more interesting is the presence of a circular building or structure, recorded as a corndryer or related feature, occupying the south-east quadrant of the interior. Such internal features are relatively uncommon survivals and speak to the working life of whoever once farmed within these walls, storing or processing grain in the shelter of the enclosure. The site is described as being in fair condition, which in archaeological terms suggests it is recognisable and partially intact, though it has clearly weathered centuries of agricultural use around it.
