It is easy to mistake for a natural rise in the ground, but the geometry gives it away: an enclosure roughly 48 metres north to south and 40 metres east to west, shaped by human hands more than a thousand years ago. This is a rath, the Irish term for a ringfort, which was the standard form of rural settlement in early medieval Ireland, typically a circular or oval area enclosed by one or more earthen banks and used as a farmstead by a single family or small community.

The enclosure here is defined by an earth-and-stone bank with an external fosse, the ditch that runs around the outside of the bank. The fosse is modest in scale, around 0.6 metres deep and 1.6 metres wide, but its survival is notable given the pressures of agricultural use over the centuries. The bank itself tells a slightly different story on each side: the interior height is now just 0.15 metres, worn almost flat, while the exterior still rises to 1.2 metres in places, best preserved on the arc running from the south-west around to the north. There is a break in the bank at the south-west, 2.2 metres wide, which is likely the site of the original entrance. At some later point, a field drain was cut across the landscape running roughly north-north-west to south-south-west, and it was routed to feed into the fosse at either end, effectively re-purposing the ancient ditch as part of the farm drainage system. The interior of the enclosure slopes gently downward toward the east, following the natural lie of the hillside.

The site sits on an east-facing slope and remains under pasture, which means it is on working agricultural land. There is no formal public access or signage, and as with most ringforts recorded in the national Sites and Monuments Record, a visit would require local knowledge and the goodwill of the landowner. Those who do get a close look should pay particular attention to the south-western arc, where the bank and fosse are most legible, and to the entrance gap, which gives the clearest sense of how the original enclosure was organised. The field drain threading through the fosse is a small detail worth noting, a reminder that these sites have rarely sat untouched; they have been absorbed into successive generations of land use, each leaving its own quiet mark.
