It appears clearly enough on the 1842 Ordnance Survey six-inch map, marked into the south-western bank of a small ringfort, but no surface trace of it now remains. That disappearance is, in its own modest way, a small puzzle: a structure solid enough to be surveyed and recorded in the mid-nineteenth century, absorbed so completely by the landscape that it has left nothing visible behind.

The ringfort itself is a rath, the most common type of early medieval enclosed settlement in Ireland, typically formed by one or more earthen banks and ditches encircling a domestic space. This one is roughly circular, measuring about 27 metres north to south and 26 metres on a northeast to southwest axis. Its defining earthen bank survives along the west-southwest to northwest arc and to the east, rising about a metre on the outer face, though considerably less on the interior. To the north, south, and southwest the enclosure is marked instead by a scarp, a natural or cut slope rather than a built-up bank. A shallow external fosse, the ditch that would once have reinforced the bank's defensive or boundary function, is still faintly legible as a depression to the southwest. The eastern portion of the bank has been absorbed into the modern field fence system, and field clearance material has been tipped along the outer face, the kind of incremental, practical alteration that centuries of farming quietly inflict on ancient earthworks. In the northwest quadrant there is a possible souterrain, an underground stone-lined passage or chamber associated with early medieval settlements, used variously for storage, refuge, or ventilation.
