3 metres wide and just 0.4 metres high on either face, poking out from beneath what has grown up around it. A ringfort, or rath, was typically a circular or oval enclosed farmstead, its bank and ditch marking the boundary of a family's living space during the early medieval period in Ireland. This one sits on a south-facing slope with open views sweeping from the north-east around to the west, which may explain why someone chose the spot in the first place. Today, though, the view is largely academic; young coniferous forestry has closed in around the monument, and the trees themselves have become the most legible sign that something deliberate once happened here.

The enclosure was recorded on the revised Ordnance Survey 25-inch map as an oval shape, measuring 31 metres north to south and 30 metres east to west, which would put it at the smaller end of the ringfort scale. A field boundary running north to south bisects it, and the monument sits within the angle of a townland boundary, the kind of accumulated landscape layering that tends to obscure as much as it preserves. When the Archaeological Survey of Ireland visited in 1999, their surveyors found it densely overgrown and largely inaccessible, with that single south-eastern arc of bank the only feature still distinguishable. The structure was already described at that point as very disturbed. By the time satellite imagery was analysed from Digital Globe orthophotos taken between 2011 and 2013, and again from a Google Earth image dated November 2018, the outline had become visible not through earthworks but through the pattern of tree planting, the planted monument effectively ghosting the original form from above. The record was compiled by Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly and uploaded in July 2020.

Accessing the site in any practical sense is genuinely difficult. The coniferous forestry noted in the survey record makes ground-level inspection a challenge, and the condition of the monument itself offers little reward for the effort unless you have a specific interest in surveying or landscape archaeology. The south-eastern bank fragment is the only element likely to be identifiable on the ground. Overhead imagery remains the most informative way to read the site, where the tree-defined oval becomes clear in a way the overgrown earthworks do not. If you are in the area, the wider townland boundary context and the slope's aspect are worth considering simply as a reminder of how these sites were positioned deliberately in the landscape, even if what remains above ground now tells only a partial story.
