Four further raths sit within 280 metres in almost every direction, the closest a mere 140 metres to the south-south-east. This clustering is unusual even by the standards of early medieval Ireland, when ringforts, which were typically circular enclosed farmsteads built between roughly the fifth and twelfth centuries, were constructed in their tens of thousands across the country. Standing on the ridge here, with the Pollagh River running some 380 metres to the west, the sense is less of an isolated monument than of a neighbourhood whose domestic arrangements have simply become illegible over time.

The rath itself is a roughly circular raised area about 40 metres in diameter, defined by an earthen bank that has worn very unevenly. At the south-east and south, the bank remains substantial, reaching around 1.8 metres in height with a steep outer slope; where a later field wall has been built against it, the bank face has been reinforced with drystone walling. At the north-north-west it is also reasonably intact, but around the north-east and east the bank has been reduced to a low, narrow ridge with a few large stones showing at its inner edge. That flattened eastern arc may mark the position of the original entrance, though no clear gap survives. Dense hawthorn and brambles ring the bank and have spread across the interior, making close examination difficult. Running through the middle of the enclosure on a roughly north-south axis is a later drystone field wall, a reminder that the site continued to serve practical agricultural purposes long after its original function was forgotten. Perhaps the most intriguing detail is a souterrain, an underground stone-lined passage typically used for storage or refuge, recorded in the north-west quadrant of the interior. It was already old enough to be labelled simply as a 'Cave' on the Ordnance Survey six-inch map of 1838.
