What makes this one quietly interesting is the degree to which the landscape has quietly absorbed it. A field wall has been built directly on top of the enclosing element, running across it throughout, so that what was once a deliberate boundary has been folded into the working geometry of later agriculture.

The rath is subcircular in plan, measuring roughly 43 metres north to south and just over 40 metres east to west, dimensions that fall well within the typical range for these earthworks. At its southern side, a bank is still legible; elsewhere, the enclosure survives only as a scarp, a low slope in the ground that marks where an earthwork once stood. Raths were built primarily during the early medieval period, roughly the fifth to the twelfth centuries, and served as enclosed farmsteads, the bank and ditch combination offering a degree of security for livestock and household alike. Thousands once existed across Ireland; a significant number survive in various states of preservation, though many, like this one, have been worn down by centuries of farming activity.
