What had stood there was a bivallate rath, a type of early medieval enclosure defined by two concentric earthen ramparts rather than the single bank more commonly found across Ireland. At roughly 45 metres in diameter, it would have been a moderately substantial example, and its elevated position gave it the kind of wide, open views that suggest it was once a place of some local significance.

The site was still visible, if diminished, when O Murchadha documented it in 1967, noting that the remains of the double rampart could be clearly seen at that point, past tense doing considerable work in that sentence. It had already been destroyed the previous year. The 1934 Ordnance Survey six-inch map captured the enclosure while it was still intact, giving a record of its form that the landscape itself can no longer provide. Beneath where the ramparts once ran, a souterrain survives. A souterrain is an underground stone-lined passage, typically associated with ringforts and thought to have served for storage, refuge, or both during the early medieval period. Whether that underground structure endured the bulldozing undisturbed is not clear.

The hill itself remains, and the views O Murchadha noted are presumably unchanged. But the earthworks that gave the site its archaeological character are gone, leaving a place that is now most interesting for what happened to it rather than what can be seen there.
