The western half survives in reasonable condition, its gravelly clay bank still standing to an external height of nearly two metres. The eastern half has been levelled almost entirely, leaving only a low scarp of around twenty-two centimetres to trace where the perimeter once ran. What the boundary wall did not erase, agricultural improvement apparently managed.

Ringforts, known in Irish as raths when earthen-banked, were the farmsteads of early medieval Ireland, typically dating from roughly the fifth to the twelfth centuries. Most were the enclosed homesteads of farming families, their circular banks and ditches serving as much for livestock management as for defence. This one is slightly irregular in plan, measuring about 29.3 metres north to south and around 32 metres east to west, with a notably straight-sided stretch of bank in the south-west sector that sets it apart from the more consistently curved profiles seen elsewhere. It sits on a very gentle north-facing slope, just four metres from a second ringfort and two metres from a separate enclosure, making this a surprisingly dense cluster of early settlement remains in a single upland field. The wide ditch running along the external base of the western bank, which might at first suggest a deliberate defensive feature separating this ringfort from its neighbour, appears instead to be the result of small-scale quarrying carried out at some later point. The gaps cut through the bank on the northern and southern sides, where it meets the townland boundary wall, are also considered later insertions, opened up to allow access between fields as the land was worked over the centuries.
