That refusal means much of what is known about this enclosure comes from maps and a brief field note rather than any direct examination, which gives the place a quietly unresolved quality.

Ordnance Survey mapping from 1842 shows the fort as a hachured circular enclosure, roughly 22 metres in diameter. By the time later OS maps were produced in 1904 and 1938, the eastern side had been levelled and the fosse, the defensive ditch that would originally have encircled the earthwork, was depicted running south to north. A ringfort, or rath, is a roughly circular enclosure defined by one or more earthen banks and ditches, built predominantly during the early medieval period in Ireland as a farmstead and livestock enclosure. This one was recorded in 1937 by a researcher named Broker, who noted it sitting on John Murphy's land, describing a fort of about a quarter of an acre with a double fence, both banks partially levelled, and the highest point still standing at eight feet. A possible souterrain, an underground stone-lined passage typically used for storage or refuge, has also been identified within the interior, though given that access was denied, its nature remains unconfirmed.
