A roughly circular raised feature, about eight metres across, occupies the middle of the interior, and within that a shallow hollow, roughly half a metre deep and stony underfoot, waits under a tangle of overgrowth. Surveyors could not say with confidence what it is. It might be the remnants of a collapsed souterrain, an underground passage or chamber of the kind commonly associated with early medieval ringforts and used variously for storage or refuge. Or it might be the trace of a hut site. The ambiguity is part of what makes this small, quiet field monument worth attention.

The rath itself, a ringfort defined not by a bank and ditch in the conventional sense but by a scarp, a raised earthen edge, sits on a gentle rise in pasture near Kinaff. Its circular platform measures just under twenty-eight metres north to south. The scarp reaches around 1.3 to 1.4 metres in height at the south and north, but has been levelled to little more than a slight undulation along the northeast to southeast arc. The reason for that levelling is visible: a sunken farm road, running roughly north-northeast to south-southwest, cuts directly through the eastern half of the monument, and the flattened eastern portion of the rath lies just beside it. Hawthorn trees and brambles grow around the scarp edges, with hawthorn hedgerows following the road on either side, giving the site a somewhat enclosed feeling despite its open pastoral setting. Around 120 metres to the northeast, a second rath survives, making this a paired or clustered arrangement of the kind occasionally found in areas of early medieval settlement activity in the west of Ireland.
