What makes this particular example quietly interesting is how much of its original form has been quietly worn away, and yet how much can still be read in the ground if you know what to look for. The interior measures roughly 25 metres in diameter, enclosed by an earthen bank that has, in parts, been refaced with stone at some point in the modern era, a well-meaning intervention that now sits a little uneasily alongside the softer, older material.

A 1968 Office of Public Works report noted suggestions of a ploughed-out external bank visible on the north, east, and southern sides. A rath of this kind would originally have consisted of a raised interior platform, one or more encircling earthen banks, and a fosse, the ditch dug to supply material for the bank and to reinforce the boundary. Here, those outer elements have largely dissolved back into the field, leaving only faint traces. The break in the surviving bank on the southern side is considered to mark the original entrance, a detail that gives even this much-reduced monument a faint sense of orientation, a place that once had a threshold, a way in and a way out.
