A rath, as this type of ringfort is commonly known, is an enclosed settlement of early medieval Ireland, typically consisting of an earthen bank surrounding a domestic or agricultural area. This one measures roughly 46 metres north to south and 47.5 metres east to west, with a bank ranging from just over three metres to nearly six metres wide. What makes it quietly unsettling is that the interior has been deliberately levelled in recent years, not by cutting into the ground, but by spreading material across the surface. The archaeology beneath may yet be largely intact, but the interior now presents a smoothed, unremarkable face.

The bank itself retains considerable presence, rising internally to between 1.2 and 1.8 metres and externally to as much as 3.5 metres at certain points. A fosse, the defensive ditch that typically accompanied such banks, is partially legible: at the south, a shallow curving depression roughly two metres wide and sitting around seven metres outside the bank edge suggests where it once ran. At the east, a farm track occupies a berm that may overlie a second stretch of fosse. There are two original-looking gaps in the bank, one at the east and one at the south-east, each around 4.5 metres wide, and either could mark the site's original entrance. A third gap to the north-east is clearly modern. The layering of use here is characteristic of these monuments across Ireland, where early medieval enclosures have been absorbed into working farmland over centuries, their boundaries adapted, obscured, and occasionally, as here, smoothed over entirely.
