The site is a rath, the Irish term for a ringfort, which was the most common form of rural settlement in early medieval Ireland. These were typically enclosed farmsteads, defined by one or more earthen banks and a surrounding ditch, within which a family and their livestock would have lived. This particular example measures approximately thirty metres in diameter, a modest but not unusual size for such a monument.

The ringfort was recorded on the Ordnance Survey six-inch map of 1924, which captured it as a clearly embanked circular enclosure. By the time Denis Power compiled his survey notes, uploaded in August 2011, the picture had changed considerably. The earthen bank and its external fosse, the ditch that would originally have run around the outside of the bank, were still traceable, though partially damaged. The north-western to north-eastern arc had suffered the most, with the bank levelled and the fosse filled in along that stretch. The remainder of the monument was not so much destroyed as swallowed, buried under dense overgrowth that made a full assessment difficult. What could be confirmed placed it firmly within the recognisable type: a single circular bank with an encircling ditch, set in level agricultural ground.

Accessing the site requires traversing private farmland, so permission from the landowner would be the sensible first step. The flat terrain means there is no dramatic elevated approach, and the overgrowth recorded in 2011 is likely to have thickened further in the years since. Winter or early spring, when vegetation is at its lowest, offers the best chance of picking out the surviving bank and understanding the enclosure's shape. The clearest surviving section appears to run through the southern and eastern arc, where the earthworks had not been levelled. A large-scale OS map or a satellite view will help orient you before you arrive, since the feature is subtle enough that it can be easy to walk across without quite registering what lies underfoot.
