Mapped in 1840 as a circular enclosure, it had become oval by 1897, at least on paper, measuring roughly 26 metres north to south and 21 metres east to west. Whether that shift reflects actual erosion, agricultural pressure, or simply a more careful surveyor is impossible to say now, but it is a small detail that rewards attention.

Ringforts, known in Irish as raths, were enclosed farmsteads typical of the early medieval period, roughly 500 to 1200 AD. They were built in their thousands across Ireland, and this one in County Limerick sits in reclaimed pasture about 150 metres west of the townland boundary with Thomastown. The 1897 map records a bank surviving along the northern, southern, and western sides, reduced to a scarp in places, with an external fosse, a defensive ditch, running from the west around to the northwest. A second earthwork, recorded separately in the Sites and Monuments Record as LI047-042, lies approximately 250 metres to the east, suggesting this was once a somewhat busier patch of early medieval landscape than the present fields imply.

The monument is now covered in scrub, which has paradoxically helped preserve its outline. It is visible on Google Earth satellite imagery, where a field boundary running northwest to southeast cuts across the eastern edge of the site, a reminder of how later agricultural organisation has gradually encroached on older features. On the ground, the scrub-covered bank is likely the most legible element. The site sits in working farmland, so access would depend on landowner permission. Anyone with an interest in the subtle topography of early medieval settlement will find that the 1897 Ordnance Survey 25-inch map, freely available through the OSi historical mapping portal, is worth consulting before visiting.
