What makes this particular example worth attention is the detail of its survival. The outer bank retains its stone revetment, a facing of stones laid against the earthwork to hold its shape, and a stone-lined entrance passage at the south-south-east remains intact. These are not always preserved. Many raths have been ploughed out, quarried, or simply allowed to slump into illegibility.

The site is subcircular in plan, measuring roughly 26.5 metres east to west and 25 metres north to south, and its structure follows the classic rath arrangement: an inner bank, an external fosse or ditch, and an outer bank beyond that. A rath is an enclosed farmstead of the early medieval period, typically associated with a single family and its livestock, the enclosing banks and ditches serving as much for social display and the management of animals as for any serious defensive purpose. The interior here contains a souterrain, recorded separately in the archaeological inventory. Souterrains are stone-lined underground passages or chambers built beneath or adjacent to ringforts, most likely used for cool storage and possibly as places of refuge. The combination of a well-layered enclosure and a surviving souterrain gives this site an unusual degree of structural legibility for something sitting in open bogland.
