Sitting in level grassland, this subcircular rath measures roughly 49 metres north to south and 45 metres east to west, and what remains of it is fragmentary enough that a casual walker might not register it as anything deliberate. Yet the underlying structure is legible to anyone who knows what to look for: two earthen banks with a fosse between them, the fosse being a cut or dug ditch that would once have reinforced the defensive or enclosing function of the whole arrangement.

A rath is an early medieval ringfort, typically enclosing a farmstead and its associated structures, and thousands of them survive across Ireland in varying states of repair. This one is on the poorer end of that scale. The outer bank is only clearly traceable from the south-southwest to the southwest, the rest having been worn down or absorbed into the surrounding landscape over centuries of agricultural use. A gap of about seven metres on the eastern side may represent the original entrance, though the qualification is significant; it could equally be a later break. More telling, in its quiet way, is the pattern of field boundaries that radiate outward from the monument. This is a common phenomenon around Irish ringforts, where later land divisions were simply organised around a pre-existing earthwork that had already shaped the ground for centuries, leaving the rath as a kind of silent pivot in the fieldscape around it.
