What makes this particular example quietly affecting is not what survives but what has been lost, and how recently. By the time archaeologists returned for a second look in May 1992, a full decade after their first visit, the northern portion of the site had been entirely levelled during field clearance. A monument that had already endured for well over a thousand years was significantly diminished within a single agricultural season.

When the site was first recorded in November 1982, the rath measured roughly 40 metres east to west and 33 metres north to south, a subcircular shape that is typical of the form across Ireland. Its defining bank was already degraded at that point, and a field wall cut through the monument at both its western and eastern edges, a common enough fate for earthworks that farmers gradually absorbed into the working landscape over generations. A gap at the north-west was thought to be a modern intrusion rather than an original entrance. Inside the enclosure, a T-shaped rise incorporating some natural rock outcrop was noted, the kind of subtle internal feature that can suggest the ghost of a structure or simply the uneven lie of the land beneath. A nearby trackway has been identified as a possible associated feature, hinting that the rath once sat within a small web of activity rather than in isolation.

The southern remnant of the site, now a grass-covered mound with stone breaking through the surface, is the more visible portion since the clearance. Stone protruding from a mound in this way often indicates that rubble from collapsed or demolished walling has been folded into the earthwork over time, whether from the rath's own bank or from later field management. It is a modest thing to look at, but the contrast between the 1982 and 1992 records gives it an unintentional document of loss.
