Its earthen bank, which stands just 0.3 metres above the interior but rises to 1.4 metres on the outside, has been pressed into service as part of both a roadside fence to the west and a field boundary to the north. The enclosure itself is roughly circular, measuring 44.5 metres north to south and 38.8 metres east to west, placing it comfortably within the typical range of an Irish rath, the most common type of ringfort, which was usually a single-family farmstead of the early medieval period, roughly 500 to 1000 AD.

Three gaps punctuate the bank, at the north-east, east-south-east, and south, each around a metre wide. Whether any of these represents the original entrance is not certain. To the north, the external fosse, a shallow defensive ditch that would once have reinforced the bank's height and made the enclosure harder to breach, survives as a slight depression at the bank's base. One detail worth noting is that the interior has been deliberately raised on its southern side, a practical measure to level out the ground against the natural fall of the hillslope. That small engineering decision, made by someone farming this land well over a thousand years ago, is still legible in the ground today. In places on the northern stretch of the bank, stone facing is visible externally, suggesting that at some point the earthwork was reinforced or revetted with stone, though it remains primarily an earthen construction.
