What remains is a rath, the Irish term for a roughly circular enclosure defined by earthen banks and ditches, built throughout the early medieval period as a defended farmstead for a family of some local standing. This one measures about 39 metres in diameter, a fairly typical size, and it was once defined by two concentric banks with a fosse, or ditch, running between them. A double-banked rath of this kind would have signalled a degree of wealth or status above the single-bank norm, the extra earthwork representing both additional labour and additional protection.

The site is poorly preserved today. Of the outer bank, only the arc running from the east, through the south, and round to the west still has any meaningful form; the northern section has been lost, probably to centuries of cultivation or grazing on ground that offers few natural obstacles to the plough or the levelling effects of livestock. The inner bank and the fosse between the two earthworks are still present across a greater portion of the circuit, but the overall picture is of a monument in slow retreat. There are no recorded finds or structural features associated with this particular site beyond its earthwork plan, which means its history prior to its gradual erasure from the landscape remains effectively anonymous, one of thousands of similar enclosures scattered across Ireland whose occupants left no names behind.
