The site is almost entirely swallowed by dense briars and thorn bushes, to the point where the earthwork itself is barely legible from the ground. Only two points along its perimeter, at the south-east and north-north-west, offer any real access to the scarped edge that defines it.

The site is a rath, the Irish term for a ringfort, which was the most common form of rural settlement in early medieval Ireland, typically used as a defended farmstead between roughly the fifth and twelfth centuries. This particular example sits atop a low limestone hillock in rough pasture, and its defining feature is a roughly circular enclosure approximately 36 metres in diameter. The boundary takes the form of a scarped edge, meaning the ground has been cut or shaped to create a slight but deliberate drop, here standing around 0.75 metres high and measuring some 6.6 metres in width. It is modest by the standards of more elaborate examples, but the underlying shape is clear enough to those who know what they are looking at. The record was compiled by Denis Power and uploaded in August 2011.

Finding the site requires some patience. The hillock sits within rough pasture, so appropriate footwear and landowner permission are both advisable. The overgrowth that covers the enclosure is thick enough to make any close inspection difficult at most times of year, though late winter or early spring, before the briars fully leaf out, offers the best chance of reading the earthwork's outline. The two accessible points on the scarp, at the south-east and north-north-west, are worth locating if only to appreciate the scale and the deliberate shaping of the ground beneath all that vegetation.
