The western half has vanished entirely, and what remains of the eastern arc is largely buried under field clearance debris, the accumulated stone and soil pushed aside by generations of agricultural tidying. A scarp, running roughly from north-east around through east to south, is about all that can be traced on the ground today. A ringfort, or rath, was a roughly circular enclosure typically defined by an earthen bank and ditch, used in early medieval Ireland as a farmstead or defended homestead. This one, when complete, enclosed an area of around thirty metres in diameter, which places it in the modest but common range for such sites.

The 1837 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map recorded it as a clear circular enclosure, meaning it was still legible as a coherent form at that point, even if subsequent decades were less kind to it. Its position is quietly distinctive: it sits on a low rise on a peninsula projecting into the western side of Ballisodare Bay in County Sligo. The choice of a slight elevation on a peninsula would have made practical sense for anyone wishing to observe movement across water and surrounding land, though what we know of its specific history, its builders, its period of use, and what became of it, has not survived alongside its earthworks.
