The land inside the ringfort sits at roughly the same level as the fields around it, so there is none of the elevated drama that visitors sometimes expect from these sites. What commands attention instead is the enclosing bank itself, nearly seven metres wide at its base, rising to three and a half metres on its outer face. For a univallate rath, meaning one enclosed by a single bank and ditch rather than multiple concentric rings, that is a substantial earthwork, and the sheer mass of compacted earth and stone suggests this was a settlement that someone went to considerable trouble to defend or demarcate.

Below ground, the site holds something stranger still. In the northern sector of the interior are the remains of two souterrains, underground stone-lined passages or chambers that were commonly built within ringforts during the early medieval period, probably for storage and possibly as places of refuge. The more northerly of the two is partially open, and drystone walling is still visible inside the chamber, along with a lintel stone visible in the northeast corner. A lintel stone is simply a flat stone laid horizontally across the top of a passage or opening to bear the load above it, and its survival here hints at the careful construction that once ran throughout. Three metres to the south, a second chamber has collapsed, leaving a scatter of stones rather than any legible structure. The entrance to the rath itself, on the southeast side, is a generous 8.4 metres wide, flanked on multiple sides by later fieldbanks that have grown up against the monument over the centuries.
