The collision of an early medieval boundary with a much later administrative line gives the site an oddly fractured character, and it is this tension, old earthwork meeting modern demarcation, that makes the place worth pausing over.

A ringfort, or rath, is one of the most common monument types in the Irish countryside: a roughly circular enclosure defined by an earthen bank and external ditch, typically dating to the early medieval period and associated with a farmstead or small settlement. This example sits in level pasture and originally measured around 41 metres east to west, though the surviving north-south diameter is now only about 29.7 metres, the southern portion having been lost or truncated where the townland boundary crosses it. The earthen bank still stands to an internal height of roughly one metre along the arc running from the south-west to the south-east, and the external fosse, the shallow ditch that would originally have reinforced the enclosure, survives to a depth of about half a metre. To the east, a causewayed entrance roughly four metres wide remains legible, the raised causeway spanning what would once have been the fosse. A drain has been cut through the interior on the north side of the townland boundary, adding further interference to an already compromised monument. The enclosure itself is heavily overgrown with trees and bushes, which simultaneously obscures and, in a way, protects what remains.
