A rath is an early medieval enclosure, typically dating from roughly 500 to 1000 AD, built to define a farmstead and signal its owner's status. This one, measuring approximately 22.5 metres north to south and 22 metres east to west, is not especially large, but its defining features remain legible enough to reward a careful look.

The enclosure is formed by a scarped edge, essentially a cut or shaped bank rather than a built-up one, rising about 0.6 metres and running roughly 1.6 metres wide. Outside this runs a fosse, which is simply a ditch, here measuring around 0.3 metres deep and 4 metres across. Both the scarp and the fosse are now heavily colonised by whitethorn bushes, which in many Irish field monuments have become a kind of unofficial guardian, their dense thorny growth discouraging interference while also, over time, softening the archaeological record underneath. The record compiled by Denis Power notes two cattle gaps cut through the scarp, one on the west side and one on the northwest, which tell their own small story about how the site has been absorbed into working farmland over generations. A scattering of concrete slabs dumped on the north-northwest section of the scarp is a reminder that even scheduled monuments exist in the middle of ordinary agricultural life.

The interior is described as level, dry, and clear of overgrowth, which makes it easier than many such sites to read the ground beneath your feet. The surrounding pasture sits on a gentle westward slope, so the enclosure catches whatever light is coming in from that direction in the late afternoon. There is no formal public access noted for this site, and as it sits in working farmland, any visit would depend on the goodwill of the landowner. The Archaeological Survey of Ireland holds an aerial photograph of the site taken in October 2002, reference ASIAP 325/3, which gives a clearer sense of the enclosure's shape than a ground-level visit alone can provide.
