Two banks, two ditches, and a series of unexplained trenches cut into the interior floor all suggest a place that was used, modified, and perhaps used again, leaving behind a palimpsest of activity that resists easy summary.

The site takes the form of a roughly circular enclosure measuring 30.2 metres north to south, defined by an earthen bank rising about a metre on the interior face, with a substantial external fosse, or ditch, reaching two metres deep. A second bank, standing 1.25 metres high and accompanied by a shallower fosse, survives along the western to eastern arc of the circuit. A ringfort of this type, a rath, was typically a farmstead enclosure from the early medieval period, roughly the fifth to twelfth centuries, its banks and ditches serving less as military fortification than as a boundary marking status, keeping livestock in and unwanted visitors out. What complicates the picture here is the interior itself: the ground slopes gently down towards the south-west and is scored with trenches running north to south, whose purpose is not recorded. More intriguing still is a possible souterrain in the northern half of the enclosure. A souterrain is an underground stone-lined passage, commonly built beneath early medieval settlements for storage or as a place of concealment, and their presence is often taken as a sign of a site with some degree of prosperity or permanence.
