A later fieldbank, cutting across the northern sector of the enclosure, has reduced what was once a complete circular earthwork to a semi-circular arc, a curved fragment of bank and ditch trailing off where agriculture eventually won out over older geography.

The site is a univallate rath, meaning it was defended by a single enclosing bank and ditch rather than the multiple concentric rings seen at more elaborate examples. Raths of this type are among the most common monument forms in the Irish countryside, built and occupied largely during the early medieval period, roughly the fifth to twelfth centuries, and used as farmsteads by free farmers and minor lords. This one, roughly 21 metres across its east-west diameter, sits just outside a much larger sub-circular enclosure in the same landscape, suggesting the area carried significance across a long stretch of time. Where the bank survives, it measures between four and six metres wide and stands to about a metre in height on the outer face. The external fosse, a shallow ditch that would have reinforced the sense of enclosure, can still be traced from the south around to the west, sitting roughly 40 centimetres below the level of the surrounding ground and about two metres across. To the north, where the fieldbank cuts through, the fosse has been lost entirely.

What remains is legible enough, if you know what you are looking at. The curving bank reads clearly in the landscape as something deliberate and old, even in its truncated state, and its position relative to the larger enclosure nearby hints at a settlement pattern that extended well beyond any single farmstead.
