The circular rath, roughly 38 metres in diameter, can be traced only along part of its arc, a scarp running from the north-west through east to south-south-east. Beyond that, where modern field walls have cut across the site and tillage has worked the ground to the west and south, the enclosing element has been erased entirely from the surface. A rath is a ringfort, typically a raised circular earthwork enclosing a farmstead of the early medieval period, and thousands of them once dotted the Irish countryside. This one is among the more diminished examples.

The site sits in undulating pastureland and tillage ground, the kind of quietly productive landscape that has been reshaping such monuments for centuries. Two field walls bisect what remains, one running north to south cutting the rath at its north-west, another running east to west cutting it at the south-south-east. These walls tell their own story about how agricultural reorganisation gradually dismantled the legibility of older features in the land. What makes this particular rath worth noting, despite its poor state of preservation, is the associated souterrain. A souterrain is an underground stone-lined passage or chamber, typically constructed during the early medieval period and thought to have served for storage, refuge, or both. The presence of one here suggests that, whatever its current condition above ground, this was once a more substantial and purposeful settlement.
