The surviving portion sits in open pasture on a gently north-eastward-facing slope near Mauricetown, its earthen bank still legible in the landscape despite the encroachments of both tarmac and livestock.

Ringforts, known in Irish as raths, were the most common form of rural settlement in early medieval Ireland, typically consisting of a circular area enclosed by one or more banks and ditches, and used as a farmstead and place of security for a family and their animals. This example measures roughly 31 metres across on a north-west to south-east axis. The bank that enclosed it survives along the arc running from east around to north-north-west, standing about 0.6 metres above the interior and 1.1 metres above the external ground level, where the full drop is still visible. Beyond that, the road takes over, and the north-eastern section of the enclosure is simply gone. The distance from the surviving bank on the south-west side to the road edge on the north-east is around 28 metres, giving some sense of how much of the original circuit remains. The site was recorded by Denis Power and uploaded to the national record in August 2011.

The bank itself is lined with mature thorn trees, the kind of dense, slow-grown hedgerow vegetation that tends to accumulate along old earthworks over generations. Cattle have worn away sections of the bank where they cross into the interior, and a gap roughly 1.8 metres wide at the south-east is most likely a cattle break rather than an original entrance. The interior lies under marshy pasture and slopes away gently toward the north-east. There is no formal access, and the site sits within working agricultural land, so any visit requires attention to field boundaries and the usual courtesies around private farmland.
