What makes this particular ringfort quietly puzzling is a detail that resists easy interpretation: the bank has four separate breaks in it, and it is not clear which of the four was ever the original entrance. Most ringforts, of which Ireland has tens of thousands, preserve at least some indication of how their occupants came and went. Here, that question remains open.

A ringfort, or rath, is a roughly circular enclosure defined by one or more earthen banks, used throughout the early medieval period in Ireland as a farmstead or enclosed settlement. This one is univallate, meaning it has a single bank, and its interior measures 23.6 metres across. The site faces north-west and sits on a slope, which accounts for the asymmetry in the bank's height: the uphill, southern side rises 1.7 metres above the interior, while the north-western, downhill side reaches 2.1 metres on its outer face. Within the enclosure, two rectangular house platforms survive, laid out end to end in a roughly north-south alignment. The northern platform measures 5.5 metres by 4.4 metres and stands about 0.4 metres high; the southern, lying just 2 metres away, is slightly smaller at 5.4 metres long and at least 2.8 metres wide. The northern house abuts the ringfort bank directly, suggesting the two structures were conceived together rather than added at different times. Part of the bank on the north side has since been removed and incorporated into a field boundary, with stone facing added along the inner face for that purpose, layering a later agricultural logic over the earlier one.
