Classified as a cashel, the term used for a ringfort built from dry-stone walling rather than earthen banks, this roughly circular enclosure measures around 25 metres in diameter and was clearly visible enough in the nineteenth century to be marked on the Ordnance Survey six-inch maps of both 1846 and 1894. Today, it is not visible at ground level. A road skirts its eastern edge, and the land is pasture, but the structure itself has been absorbed entirely into the landscape.

What makes the site particularly interesting is a note connecting it to a local record made in the 1940s by a Reverend W. Ferris, who documented what he called 'cathairiní' on the land of a John Moynihan. The word cathairiní is the diminutive plural of cathair, an Irish term for a stone ringfort, so Ferris was recording small stone enclosures, possibly a cluster of related sites in the same vicinity. That a clergyman was gathering this kind of field evidence in the 1940s is a reminder of how much early local archaeology depended on amateur recorders with an eye for the landscape, working before formal survey programmes existed. The Ferris record appears to be the last time anyone took specific note of what was on Moynihan's land, and the connection between his observations and this particular enclosure remains probable rather than certain.
