What was once a rath, a type of ringfort consisting of a circular earthen enclosure used as a farmstead and place of security in early medieval Ireland, now doubles as the southern boundary of a garden lawn. The transition is so complete that, without knowing what to look for, a visitor might simply see a grassy bank edging someone's property.

The 1837 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map recorded the site as a clear circular enclosure, which at least tells us the earthwork was still legible and largely intact at that point. What survives today is a broad, curving scarp, around 3.2 metres wide and rising between 1.5 and 2 metres in height, sweeping in an arc from south through west to north-west. That geometry is the remnant of what would once have been a full circuit. Over time, the surviving section has been folded into the field boundary system of the surrounding land, a fate common to earthworks in agricultural Ireland, where ancient features were often retained not out of any particular reverence but simply because a ready-made bank is a useful thing to have.
