A slight hollow in the ground is all that remains of what local tradition holds was an earthen fort, a rath, once raised on a low rise in the landscape. A rath is a type of ringfort, a circular enclosure defined by one or more earthen banks and ditches, built primarily during the early medieval period in Ireland as a farmstead and place of domestic enclosure. Here, even that much has almost entirely vanished.

What makes the site stranger still is the tradition linking it to a cashel or baile ginealigh, a term referring to a clustering of associated sites that together form part of a wider territorial or genealogical grouping in the archaeological record. That association, passed down through local knowledge rather than through any surviving physical form, is now the most substantial thing about the place. The land has continued as farmland, the banks have been absorbed back into the soil, and the rise on which the fort once sat carries on being a rise, unremarkable to any eye not already looking for what is no longer there.
