Ringforts are roughly circular enclosures, typically defined by one or more earthen banks and ditches, and were the standard form of rural farmstead across early medieval Ireland. This one survives only as a fragment, and its full circuit is no longer traceable on the ground.

The site was recorded as an arc of hachures on the 1914 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map, suggesting an enclosure of roughly fifty metres in diameter, running from north through east to south. What can still be seen today is a section of earthen bank stretching from the north-east to the south-east, measuring five to six metres wide, with an interior height of between 0.3 and 0.7 metres and an exterior height of around 1.2 metres. No fosse, the external ditch that typically accompanies such a bank, is visible anywhere along its length, and the rest of the perimeter has either been lost or is buried beneath the forest floor. The rath sits on a gentle south-west facing slope, with a stretch of the River Shannon running roughly south-east to north-west approximately 150 metres to the south-west. That proximity to a major river would have made this a reasonably well-placed enclosure, with access to water and the movement routes that tended to follow it.
