Sitting in rough pasture just north of the Inny river on the Iveragh Peninsula, this roughly oval earthwork measures around 23 metres north to south and 28 metres east to west internally, with its raised interior still bearing the faint corrugations of old east-west cultivation ridges, the marks of farming activity long after the rath's original occupants were gone.

The earthwork's construction detail is still legible in the landscape. The inner bank stands 3.4 metres high on its outer face and up to 5.5 metres wide at its base, while a flat-bottomed fosse, or ditch, roughly 3.1 metres across separates it from an outer bank that itself rises 1.6 metres above the ditch floor. A shallower outer fosse survives along the northern sector. Intermittent drystone walling reinforces both faces of both banks, most visibly on the eastern and southern sides, and a causeway carries the original entrance across the inner fosse at the east, where gaps through both banks preserve the approach route that people and animals would have used perhaps a thousand or more years ago. Spoil from the digging of the ditches has slumped and accumulated along their bases over the centuries, and mature trees now crown both banks, giving the site a quietly overgrown presence in the surrounding pasture. The survey compiled by A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan for their 1996 archaeological study of the Iveragh Peninsula describes it as a fine example of its type, a judgement the earthwork's surviving dimensions and structural detail do little to contradict.
