While most raths, the earthen enclosures built across Ireland during the early medieval period as defended farmsteads, present only a grassy interior to the curious observer, this one preserves the faint outline of what may be a rectangular house, its grass-covered remains still legible as a structure roughly fifteen metres long and just over six metres wide, pressed against the western interior of the enclosure.

The rath itself is nearly circular, measuring 38 metres north to south and 37.5 metres east to west, and survives in fair condition. Around much of its circumference, the defining earthen bank is still traceable, and between the west and northwest sections there are remnants of a fosse, the ditch that would once have reinforced the bank as a barrier, along with hints of a further outer bank beyond it. A field boundary, almost certainly of later agricultural origin, has cut across the inner bank on the southern side, a reminder that subsequent generations tended to put old earthworks to practical use without much ceremony. More striking still is a rectangular annexe extending outward from the northern side of the enclosure, defined by a bank of earth and stone and measuring roughly 28.5 metres by up to 26 metres. These annexes are not uncommon on larger ringforts, where they may have served as enclosures for livestock, but their presence always suggests a household of some organisational complexity. A large depression near the northern interior further complicates the picture, pushing into the possible house structure in a way that invites speculation about collapse, later excavation, or simple subsidence over many centuries.
