What makes this one quietly interesting is not what survives but how little does, and what that diminished state reveals about the slow work of time and agriculture on the landscape.

The rath is subcircular in plan, measuring approximately 52 metres north-northwest to south-southeast and 45 metres east-northeast to west-southwest. What defined it originally were an earthen scarp, the raised inner edge of the enclosure, and an external fosse, which is simply a surrounding ditch. Sections of the scarp can still be read on the ground from the south-east around to the west, and again from the north-west to the north-east. The fosse, however, is only traceable along the southern to western arc. The rest has been absorbed into the surrounding land. A field boundary, probably of much later origin, cuts directly through the monument at its south-east and south-west edges, the kind of agricultural intrusion that has quietly dismantled hundreds of similar sites across the country over the past few centuries.
