A raised circular platform, roughly twenty metres across, sits in gently undulating pasture with a small stream running thirty metres to the west. The earthen bank that once enclosed it is still present along part of the circuit, wide out of all proportion to its surviving height, measuring over eight metres across while rising less than a metre above the interior. Elsewhere, from the south-east around to the west, the bank has been removed entirely and the site now reads as a scarped edge, a cleanly cut drop of about 1.2 metres on the outer face. Faint traces of the original bank survive on top of that edge, enough to confirm what was once there, but not enough to walk around as a continuous feature.

The site is a rath, the most common type of early medieval enclosure in Ireland, typically a circular area defined by one or more banks of earth and an external ditch, or fosse, used as a farmstead or high-status residence from roughly the fifth to the twelfth centuries. Here, no fosse is visible at ground level, which may reflect either the original construction or subsequent levelling over the centuries. Where farming pressure has been greatest, the bank has been cleared away altogether, leaving only the scarped profile to mark what once stood. The original entrance, which in raths of this type was usually a formal gap in the bank, is no longer recognisable. What remains is legible to anyone who knows what to look for, but offers no obvious drama to the casual eye, just a slight rise in a field, a change in gradient, and views that open out moderately well in all directions across the surrounding countryside.
