What looks at first like a natural undulation resolves, on closer inspection, into the concentric geometry of a rath, a type of circular earthwork enclosure widely built during the early medieval period in Ireland, typically as a defended farmstead for a single family or small community.

This particular example is roughly forty metres in diameter and survives in fair condition. It is defined by two earthen banks with a fosse between them, the fosse being the ditch dug to supply the material for the banks themselves. The outer and inner banks remain clearly visible across most of the circuit, from the south around through west and north to the east, while the fosse can be traced from the south-west through west and north to the north-east. What makes the site quietly interesting beyond its double-bank construction is a hollow in the south-south-west sector of the interior. This depression may indicate the former entrance to a souterrain, an underground stone-lined passage or chamber that would have served for storage or, in times of threat, as a place of concealment. Souterrains are a recurring feature of Irish ringforts, though they are not always present, and their openings frequently collapse or become obscured over centuries of agricultural use.
