Most ringforts, the circular enclosed farmsteads that dot the Irish countryside in their thousands and date broadly to the early medieval period, are defined by a clear fosse, the defensive ditch that typically runs outside the main bank. This one has none. Instead there is simply a wide, flattened earthen and stone bank, measuring between 5.8 and 7.5 metres across but rising no more than 1.1 metres at its highest point, enclosing a circular area roughly 24.6 metres in diameter. The overall effect is of something very old that has been quietly sinking into the pasture for centuries.

The site preserves two apparent entrances. The south-eastern one is the more deliberate of the pair, stone-lined and just over a metre wide, oriented away from the prevailing Atlantic weather. A second, less certain break in the bank on the northern side, roughly a metre across, may mark another point of access, though it is poorly defined and could as easily be the result of later disturbance. Records also note a souterrain associated with the site, an underground stone-built passage or chamber of the kind often used for storage or refuge in early medieval Ireland, but no physical trace of it was identified during survey. Whether it has collapsed, been filled, or simply proved impossible to locate from the surface is not known.
