A roughly circular earthwork, 28 metres across, sits on a north-west-facing slope in pasture, its two-metre-high earthen bank still largely intact. Ringforts, known in Irish as raths, were the typical farmstead enclosures of early medieval Ireland, built to define a household's space and protect livestock rather than to serve any grand military purpose. Most survive as grassy bumps in fields, recognisable but stripped of detail. This one has kept rather more.

The bank retains stone-facing on its interior southern side, and a clear entrance gap of four metres opens to the north-west. An external fosse, the shallow ditch that would originally have reinforced the bank's defensive profile, survives as a depression along the southern base. More telling is what sits in the bank to the north-north-west: the remains of a lime kiln, a small furnace used to burn limestone and produce quicklime for agricultural or building purposes. The kiln faces outward onto a trackway that skirts the enclosure, suggesting it was a working feature of a later, post-medieval landscape rather than original to the ringfort itself. Someone, at some point, found the old bank a convenient place to build. Inside, the ground slopes down to the north-west. A low triangular mound roughly six metres across sits near the bank in the northern half, and a large stone lies partially buried in the southern half. Most significantly, the north-east quadrant contains a souterrain, an underground stone-lined passage or chamber that in early medieval contexts typically served for storage or as a place of refuge, cut into the earth and roofed with stone lintels. Their presence within ringforts is well attested across Munster, though each one tends to have its own configuration. Dumped material, apparently earth and stone, also lies against the outer face of the bank to the west and north-west, hinting at further episodes of human activity whose purpose is not entirely clear.
