What survives is a subcircular rath, one of the thousands of circular enclosed settlements that early medieval farming families built across Ireland, typically using an earthen bank and ditch to define a domestic space housing a house or small cluster of buildings. This one measures roughly 33 metres north to south and 31 metres east to west, dimensions that would once have enclosed a reasonably sized farmstead.

The site is poorly preserved. A bank survives from the north around to the east-northeast, but elsewhere the enclosure is traceable only as a scarp, a low step in the ground where the original bank has slumped and spread. A later field bank has been laid directly over the scarp along much of the eastern, southern, and western arc, a habit that has long made ringforts both harder to read and easier to overlook. Farmers working the land in subsequent centuries found that an old earthwork made a convenient foundation for a boundary, and so the original monument was absorbed into the field system around it, its outline surviving but its character largely buried beneath more recent land management.
