The field it occupies has been reclaimed and levelled at some point, and the monument flattened in the process, yet the essential geometry of the enclosure remains readable on the ground. What makes it quietly odd is the way its defences respond to the terrain: where the ridge drops away sharply, a fall of around ten metres down to the Suir valley, the outer bank simply stops. There was no need to build a wall at the edge of a near-precipice.

A ringfort, also known as a rath, is a type of enclosed farmstead typical of early medieval Ireland, usually consisting of a circular bank and ditch surrounding a domestic area. Here, the enclosure measures roughly thirty metres across, and although much reduced, the sequence of features is still detectable. A bank roughly seven metres wide survives on the interior side, rising just a fraction above the enclosed ground. Beyond it lies a fosse, the surrounding ditch, about four metres wide and still nearly a metre deep in places. Further out, a probable external bank is most visible in the southern quadrant, where the site is furthest from the cliff edge. No trace of an original entrance survives. The site appeared, unnamed, on the first edition Ordnance Survey six-inch map of 1840, suggesting it was already a low earthwork by then, noticed but not considered significant enough to record in any detail.

The slope above the Suir is now planted with a mixture of conifers and deciduous trees, which both obscures the monument and, in a practical sense, has probably protected the remaining earthworks from further agricultural disturbance. The southern quadrant, where the external bank is clearest, offers the most legible cross-section of the original defensive sequence.
