That kind of deliberate clustering is not unusual in the Irish landscape, but it is easy to miss when each site is catalogued in isolation.

The fort itself is a rath, the most common type of Irish ringfort, typically understood as a defended farmstead of the early medieval period, though some examples have earlier origins. Here, a roughly circular raised area measuring approximately 23 metres north to south and 25.2 metres east to west is enclosed by an earthen bank standing 3.2 metres high. Outside that bank, on the south-south-east to east-south-east arc, runs a fosse, a defensive ditch, still measurable at 0.8 metres deep. A lower bank continues around the east-south-east to south-south-west, and an entrance gap roughly 2.2 metres wide faces east, which is a common orientation for ringfort entrances across Ireland. The site sits in pasture, which has likely helped preserve the earthworks, agricultural improvement having destroyed a significant proportion of Ireland's ringfort record elsewhere.

Visitors approaching the area should look for the drumlin itself as a landmark, and bear in mind that the surrounding pasture is private farmland. The northward views across the valley are what give this site its particular character; standing at the entrance and picking out the related monuments in the landscape below is the thing worth doing here.
