The interior of the enclosure, a roughly circular area about 35 metres across, is so completely overtaken by blackthorn and brambles that it has never been formally inspected. The perimeter is ringed with hawthorn and ash trees, and the whole thing sits at the south-eastern edge of a low rise, bordered by wet, rush-grown pasture. The vegetation has, in effect, sealed the site from the outside world.

A rath, as this type of monument is also known, is an early medieval farmstead enclosure, typically dating from roughly the fifth to the twelfth century, defined by one or more earthen or stone banks and used to protect a household and its livestock. This particular example is defined by a stony earthen bank between two and a half and three metres wide. The bank stands only about 0.2 to 0.3 metres above the interior ground level, but rises to around 1.2 metres on the outside, where it presents a well-defined external scarp. That asymmetry, low inside and considerably steeper without, is typical of the form and reflects how the bank was originally thrown up from a surrounding ditch or built to present a more imposing face outward. A low internal lip is still visible along the bank's inner edge, suggesting the enclosing structure is reasonably intact beneath the vegetation.

Because the interior could not be inspected at the time of survey, whatever lies within, any trace of a house site, a hearth, or other occupation evidence, remains undocumented. The blackthorn thicket that now fills the space is, in its own way, an efficient guardian of whatever the enclosure still holds.
