A ringfort, or rath, is a roughly circular enclosure defined by an earthen bank and ditch, built primarily during the early medieval period in Ireland as a farmstead or settlement for a single family unit. This one sits on a slight west-facing slope, and its defining edge, a steeply scarped bank rising to about 1.25 metres, remains intact enough to read clearly on the ground. An external fosse, the ditch running outside the bank, survives to a depth of around 0.6 metres. The enclosing element is overgrown with briars and bushes, which actually helps preserve the profile, even if it makes the edges harder to walk around.

The site was recorded and compiled by Denis Power, with survey data uploaded in August 2011, and aerial photographs taken by the Archaeological Survey of Ireland in October 2002 give a useful overhead perspective of its form. The circular area measures roughly 25.8 metres north to south and 26.1 metres east to west, making it a fairly typical example in terms of scale. Two gaps break the scarp, one at the north-west about 2 metres wide and a narrower one at the south-west, likely representing original or later entrance points. A field boundary running north to south abuts the outer edge of the fosse at the north-east and south-south-east, suggesting that later agricultural divisions of the land were laid out partly in relation to the monument, which is common enough across the Irish countryside.

The interior is level and damp, still under pasture, and carries one notable feature: a substantial quarry depression in the south-west quadrant, measuring over 10 metres in length and nearly a metre deep. Whether this predates, post-dates, or is contemporary with the rath itself is not recorded in the survey notes, but its presence adds a layer of ambiguity to the site. Because the enclosure sits in working farmland, access would require landowner permission. The site is most legible in low winter light or from an elevated vantage point, when the subtle relief of the scarp and fosse casts shadow enough to make the circular outline visible against the surrounding ground.
