The interior, however, has been largely swallowed by the working farm that now presses in from the north and north-west, filled with earth and stone until it sits level with the adjacent farmyard.

The rath, roughly circular with a diameter of about 38 metres, sits on a south-east-facing slope at Dromin. Its earthen bank survives in places to an external height of 3.5 metres, though the internal face has been reduced to just half a metre, and a section running from the north-west to the north has been cut away by a farmyard, with the stretch between north and north-east levelled entirely. A souterrain is associated with the site; these are underground stone-lined passages, typically dry-walled and roofed with large slabs, that were used in the early medieval period for storage or as places of refuge. The rath itself likely dates to the same general era, the early medieval centuries when such enclosed farmsteads were the dominant form of rural settlement across Ireland. A Schools Manuscript entry from the 1940s, part of a folklore collection gathered by schoolchildren across the country, records what is almost certainly this site as "one ringed fort" on the land of a man named John Moirarty, a detail that anchors the enclosure to living memory even as the structure itself continues to diminish.
