The site sits on a low rise in gently undulating pasture in County Sligo, and what quarrying has left behind is just enough to suggest the shape of something that was once deliberate and enclosed. A ringfort, or rath, was a circular or oval earthwork enclosure used in early medieval Ireland, typically as a defended farmstead, and thousands of them survive across the Irish landscape in varying states of preservation. This one has not fared well.

The remains take the form of a raised oval area measuring roughly 29 metres east to west and 22 metres north to south. On much of its circuit, the enclosing element is a low earthen bank, about 4.2 metres wide but only 0.4 metres high internally, and no fosse, the external ditch that typically accompanies such a bank, is visible at ground level. Along the western to south-eastern arc, the bank gives way entirely to a scarp, a slight but readable edge in the ground ranging from 0.3 to 0.6 metres high. Two gaps in this scarped edge to the north-north-west and north-east are each five metres wide, but both are modern breaks rather than original features, and no original entrance can now be identified. Cutting into the north-eastern side of the interior is a large, flat-bottomed quarry hole measuring 15 metres by 10 metres and 1.4 metres deep, with a second smaller circular quarry, four metres across and 0.4 metres deep, sitting just two metres to its south-east. The quarrying has taken a significant portion of what the site once contained, leaving the surviving earthworks as a partial outline around an excavated absence.
