What makes it quietly curious is the absence of any obvious entrance gap, a feature that most ringforts, the ubiquitous circular farmsteads of early medieval Ireland, retain clearly enough for a modern observer to spot. Here, either time has levelled the threshold or the original builders arranged access in a way that has since been lost entirely.

The site measures roughly 23 metres across from north to south, enclosed by a combined earth and stone bank about two metres wide. The bank survives to an internal height of around half a metre, rising to just over a metre on the exterior at its most prominent point to the north-east, which gives a sense of how the original enclosure would have presented a modest but deliberate boundary to the surrounding ground. A low earthen bank crossing the interior from north-east to south-west complicates the picture somewhat; this may well be a later field boundary rather than anything belonging to the original structure, a reminder that agricultural landscapes have a habit of overwriting earlier ones without ceremony. The site sits with a stream running to its west, and two further ringforts lie within close range to the west and south-west, suggesting this part of the uplands supported a small cluster of early settlement, each farmstead within proximity of the others but maintaining its own enclosure on the hillside.
