In the pastureland of Kilcommon More, on the north-facing slope of a gentle hill in County Tipperary, this earthwork sits in close company with a near neighbour to the northwest, the pair forming one of those quietly peculiar concentrations that suggest a landscape more intensively organised in the early medieval period than anything visible today would imply. A ringfort, or rath, is essentially a circular enclosure defined by an earthen bank, used in early medieval Ireland as a farmstead and sometimes as a marker of social status. This example is roughly circular, with a diameter of approximately 35 metres as recorded in OPW correspondence from 1969 and corroborated by its depiction on the second edition Ordnance Survey six-inch map of 1906.

The enclosing bank survives to a crest width of between 1.4 and 2 metres, with a base width of 4.4 metres and an internal height ranging from just under a metre to nearly two metres. There is no visible evidence of an external fosse, the ditch that typically accompanies such banks, which would ordinarily have provided the upcast material used to build the bank itself. The southeast quadrant is noticeably higher and considerably disturbed, and the likely explanation is mundane rather than ancient: the field boundaries shown to the northwest and west on the 1906 map have since been removed, and the material from their demolition appears to have been dumped onto the bank. Tree stumps around the perimeter point to further clearance in the recent past. The northwest quadrant has seen some disturbance too, though the bank there remains largely intact.

The monument has been fenced off and is described as very overgrown, so close inspection is not straightforward. What is still legible from a distance is the gentle but distinct rise of the bank tracing its arc across the hillside, and the sense of a second enclosure just to the northwest, the two sites occupying the same quiet slope in arrangements that predate any field boundary or modern map by more than a thousand years.
