It sits in level pastureland with no visible surface trace remaining, which makes it a curious entry in the archaeological record: a place defined almost entirely by what is no longer there.

When McCaffrey catalogued it in 1952, there was still just enough to measure. The fort was circular, roughly 24.4 metres in diameter, and the enclosing bank, though he described it as utterly denuded, could still be traced at around 0.92 metres wide and a mere 0.15 metres high. A rath, as this type of earthwork is known, was typically a circular enclosure defined by an earthen bank and ditch, used during the early medieval period as a farmstead or small settlement. Even in that condition, McCaffrey's record placed it within a wider catalogue of Galway's earthen forts. In the decades since, whatever remained has apparently flattened further into the surrounding ground, leaving the site as little more than a coordinate.
