This is a rath, the Irish term for a ringfort, which was typically a farmstead of the early medieval period enclosed by one or more earthen banks and ditches. Here, only part of that enclosure has survived. The southern to east-north-eastern arc still holds its shape, defined by a scarped edge roughly a metre high and seven metres wide, but from the east-north-east around to the south, the enclosing element has been levelled entirely, most likely through centuries of agricultural use.

The site was recorded and compiled by Denis Power, with notes uploaded in August 2011. The ringfort occupies a terrace on a north-facing slope, and its circular footprint measures twenty-six metres across in both the north-south and east-west directions, suggesting a fairly typical domestic enclosure rather than anything of unusual ambition or status. The interior sits slightly higher than the surrounding ground, a characteristic feature of these sites where the accumulated debris of long occupation, compacted earth, and the remnants of old banks can raise the ground level over time. The whole area is now under pasture, which has both preserved and obscured what lies beneath.

The site sits within farmland, so access would depend on local permissions and the courtesy of approaching landowners. The surviving scarped edge is most legible from the south, where the arc of raised ground remains clearest. Because the northern and western portions of the enclosing bank appear to have been reduced or lost, a visitor should not expect a complete circuit; the partial survival is the point of interest here, showing how thoroughly agricultural improvement can absorb even a substantial earthwork into ordinary-looking pasture. Walking the perimeter of what remains, and noting where the interior ground rises almost imperceptibly above the surrounding field, gives a reasonable sense of the original scale of the enclosure.
