The ringfort, a type of enclosed farmstead typically dating from the early medieval period, roughly 500 to 1000 AD, survives as a grass-covered oval on the north-facing slope of a low east-west ridge. Its dimensions are modest, around 23 metres north to south and 20 metres east to west, and what defines it now is a low earthen bank to the south and west-northwest, combined with a scarp running from west-northwest to north. The bank is barely visible internally, rising only about 15 centimetres above the interior surface, though externally it reaches up to half a metre. The scarp reaches 0.8 metres at its highest point. There is no surviving fosse, the external ditch that typically accompanied such enclosures, and no identifiable original entrance.

The site was catalogued as an enclosure rather than a ringfort in the Sites and Monuments Record of 1992 and the Record of Monuments and Places of 1996, a cautious classification that reflects the ambiguity sometimes introduced by partial survival. The eastern perimeter has been removed entirely by the construction of a north-south wall, and that loss, combined with the low, weathered profile of what remains, makes it easy to pass the site without registering it as anything more than a gentle irregularity in the ground. Thousands of ringforts are recorded across Ireland, and the majority survive in exactly this condition, their banks reduced, their ditches filled in, their function long since dissolved into the surrounding farmland.
