A rath, as this type of ringfort is known, was typically the enclosed farmstead of a single family or household, its circular bank providing a boundary as much social as defensive. Here, that bank forms a near-perfect circle of twenty metres across, still standing to an internal height of 1.7 metres, and stone-faced in places where the earth has been reinforced against slippage or wear.

The structure has three gaps in its bank, positioned to the north-east, east-south-east, and west, with the western gap, roughly four metres wide, partially closed off by a later stone wall, suggesting the site was adapted for agricultural use long after its original purpose had faded. A shallow external fosse, a drainage or boundary ditch that would once have made the bank appear even more imposing from outside, still traces the perimeter, though it reaches only about 0.4 metres in depth today. More intriguing is a semicircular mound of dumped material inside the southern bank, roughly eight metres long and sitting beside a shallow depression. Whether this represents the collapsed remains of an internal structure, a souterrain entrance, or simply accumulated spoil from later disturbance is unclear, but it gives the interior a slightly uneven, lived-in quality that a clean field survey cannot entirely explain.
