Located only thirty metres south-east of another ringfort, the two monuments form a paired presence in the landscape, a reminder that these enclosures were not always isolated features but could cluster, suggesting related farmsteads, familial groupings, or successive phases of settlement across the same ground.

The monument itself is a circular rath, a type of defended or enclosed farmstead built predominantly during the early medieval period in Ireland, roughly between the fifth and twelfth centuries. Such structures typically consist of one or more earthen banks with an intervening fosse, the term for the ditch from which the bank material was dug, encircling a central living area. This example measures fifty-two metres in diameter and retains two banks and an intervening fosse, placing it in fair condition by the standards of surviving examples. The southern arc of the enclosure tells a different story, however. There, the banks and fosse have been erased entirely where a later field boundary cuts across the monument, a common fate for earthworks that continued to be useful as agricultural land was managed and reorganised in subsequent centuries. The line of a modern field boundary and the curve of an ancient enclosure occasionally converge in exactly this way, one erasing the other without ceremony.
