What sets it apart from more modest examples is its double-bank construction, a feature that places it among the more elaborate class of these early medieval enclosures. Ringforts, known in Irish as raths when built primarily from earth and stone, were the most common settlement type in early medieval Ireland, typically serving as the enclosed farmsteads of free farmers or minor lords. A single bank was the norm; two concentric banks with a fosse between them suggested rather more ambition, and perhaps rather more status, on the part of whoever had this one built.

The site sits at the northern edge of a break in a north-facing hill slope, a position that would have made reasonable practical sense for drainage and visibility. The enclosure is broadly circular, measuring roughly 40 metres north to south and 39.5 metres east to west. Two earth-and-stone banks ring the interior, separated by a fosse, that is, a ditch, running approximately 3.5 metres wide between them. The inner bank stands to an external height of 2.6 metres in its better-preserved sections, though it drops considerably on the western side where overgrowth has taken hold. The outer bank, reaching an external height of 1.4 metre, carries a stretch of stone facing along its north-north-east arc, a detail that survives despite erosion elsewhere along the north-western to northern curve. The fosse itself becomes marshy along the south-eastern arc, while the western side preserves it most clearly. A formal entrance on the eastern side cuts through both banks, with gaps of 3 metres in the inner and 3.4 metres in the outer. The record was compiled by Denis Power and uploaded in August 2011.

The interior is level and under pasture, which means it reads from the ground as an unusually tidy, slightly raised circle of grass rather than anything immediately dramatic. The outer earthworks are easier to read from the perimeter, particularly along the western arc where the fosse and banks hold their shape well. Visiting in late autumn or winter, when the overgrowth along the western side has died back, would give the clearest sense of the structure. The site sits on private farmland, so landowner permission would be required before approaching closely.
