The gaps you might notice at the north-north-west and east-south-east are almost certainly modern interruptions rather than original entrances, which means the rath has been slowly absorbed into the practical geometry of farmland without anyone making much ceremony of it.

A rath is a ringfort, the most common type of early medieval settlement monument in Ireland, typically consisting of a raised circular bank, sometimes accompanied by a external ditch, enclosing a domestic space where a farmstead once stood. This example measures 37.5 metres in diameter and survives in fair condition, defined by its encircling bank and by a scarp, a natural or cut slope, running from the north-east to the east-south-east. There are traces of an external fosse, meaning a ditch, on the northern side, suggesting the site once had the more complete defensive or boundary arrangement typical of the form. Thousands of ringforts survive across Ireland, most dating from roughly the fifth to the twelfth centuries, and while they are rarely dramatic in appearance, they represent the physical remains of the ordinary rural world of early Christian Ireland, each one the former home of a farming family rather than a chieftain or a cleric.
