A rath is a ringfort, an enclosed farmstead of the early medieval period, typically circular and defined by a bank of earth or stone. This one sits at the western end of a broad ridge running south-west to north-east, with a steep two-metre slope falling away to the west and gentler ground dropping off to the south. The enclosure itself is nearly circular, roughly twenty-five metres across, bounded by a bank of earth and stone about seven metres wide. That bank is low now, less than half a metre above the interior, but its outline holds. A two-metre gap in the south-east marks where the original entrance once stood.

The interior rewards close attention. The centre and south-eastern portion of the ground surface undulate in a way that suggests something deliberate beneath: low scarps, small changes in level, the kind of patterning that points to internal divisions or the footprints of vanished structures. On the north-east side of the interior, eight small rubble boulders, each roughly twenty to thirty centimetres across, are set out in a line running east to west. Their purpose is not recorded, but their deliberate arrangement sets them apart from casual scatter. Around the outside of the enclosure, the picture broadens further. Four hut sites cluster just beyond the perimeter to the east and south, and a fifth lies about fifteen metres to the east-south-east, sitting within a field system that borders that side of the rath. Together they suggest not a single household in isolation but something closer to a small dispersed settlement, the enclosed rath at its core and ancillary structures and agricultural land arranged around it. Against all of this, a modern L-shaped quarry has been cut into the western interior, abutting the inner face of the bank, a small but irreversible intrusion into what had otherwise survived in reasonable condition.
