A modern gap broken through the northern bank, wide enough at 2.1 metres to admit farm machinery, tells you something about how the monument has been absorbed into working agricultural land. The bank material pushed into the fosse to form a rough ramp is not vandalism exactly; it is the slower, more mundane process of a prehistoric boundary being consciously repurposed.

Ringforts, or raths, are the most common monument type in Ireland, and most date to the early medieval period, broadly the fifth to twelfth centuries. They typically served as enclosed farmsteads, the earthen bank and accompanying fosse, a ditch, defining a household's territory rather than a military fortification. This example measures roughly 43.5 metres north to south and 44.3 metres east to west, encircled by a bank that rises 1.8 metres on its exterior face and sits atop a base nearly 5.7 metres wide. The fosse, where it survives, is 2.3 metres across and 0.8 metres deep with a rounded bottom. The monument wears its age unevenly: the south-western quadrant retains a steep, well-defined outer drop and a wide fosse, while the eastern section has been absorbed into a field boundary running north to south along the monument's edge. In the north-west, the fosse is filled but still faintly readable as a shallow depression in the ground. There is a second ringfort just 80 metres to the west-north-west, suggesting this part of the valley once supported more than one enclosed settlement in close proximity.

The interior is level and grass-covered, with scrub and nettles colonising the bank, and a notable number of animal burrows throughout. A quarry sits immediately to the south-east. Visitors with an eye for earthworks will find the south-western arc the most legible section, where the original profile of bank and fosse is clearest and the scale of what was built, in earth alone, becomes apparent.
