What remains is a circular rath, a type of enclosed farmstead built from the early centuries AD through to around the twelfth century, typically by a single farming family or small community. The enclosure here is defined by a bank and an external fosse, which is simply a ditch dug around the outside of the bank to reinforce the boundary, and the whole thing measures roughly 30.5 metres in diameter. That is not a large example of its kind, suggesting a modest, ordinary household rather than anything of high status.

The site's most telling feature is what is missing. The enclosing bank and fosse have been quarried away at the north-east, the east, and across a broad arc from the south around to the south-west. Stone and earthen material from old field monuments were frequently reused for building walls, filling gaps, or improving ground, and the piecemeal removal here speaks to generations of practical agricultural activity gradually consuming a structure that had long since lost its original function. The result is a monument that is, as the archaeological record puts it, poorly preserved, which is a polite way of saying that more has gone than remains.
