The enclosure measures roughly 28 metres east to west and 27 metres north to south, with an earthen bank rising only about 0.6 metres on both its interior and exterior faces. That modest height is not unusual for a rath, the Irish term for an earthen ringfort, a type of enclosed farmstead built throughout Ireland from the early medieval period, roughly the fifth to the twelfth centuries. What gives this one a particular quietness is how thoroughly it has settled into the landscape: the interior sits slightly below the level of the surrounding ground, giving the whole feature a sunken, almost bowl-like quality.

The bank is not entirely intact. There is a break running from the north-northeast to the northeast, and debris has been deposited along the line of the bank from the northeast around to the east-southeast, suggesting some degree of disturbance or collapse over time. Despite this, the circular form survives clearly enough to be mapped. Ordnance Survey six-inch maps from both 1842 and 1906 record the interior as planted, and several trees remain on the bank today, their roots now part of the archaeology in their own right. Those trees, shown on successive maps across more than sixty years, give the site an unusual documentary thread: they appear not as incidental detail but as a consistent, recorded feature of the enclosure across the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
