The site is classified as a possible rath, the Irish term for a ringfort, which was typically a circular earthen enclosure used as a farmstead and place of protection during the early medieval period, roughly between the fifth and twelfth centuries. What survives here is modest almost to the point of disappearance: a short arc of earthen bank, roughly fifteen metres in length, surviving to a height of just over half a metre and less than a metre wide, curving from the west-southwest to the north-northwest across otherwise level pasture.

The site first appears as a circular enclosure of approximately fifty metres in diameter on the Ordnance Survey six-inch map produced in 1894 to 1895, which suggests that considerably more of the original form was legible in the landscape at that time. Since then, the southeastern portion has been replaced by a recently constructed earthen bank and wall, likely the result of routine agricultural improvement. The surviving arc of the original bank is now flanked on its outer side by a modern field wall, which at least respects the line of the older structure rather than cutting through it. The level interior gives little further away, offering no surface indication of what, if anything, lies beneath.
