A ringfort, or rath, was a roughly circular enclosed settlement typical of early medieval Ireland, usually defined by one or more earthen banks and ditches and used as a farmstead or place of habitation. This one survives only as a barely perceptible hollow in the ground, and yet it persists.

The 1924 Ordnance Survey six-inch map recorded the monument as a sub-oval embanked enclosure, roughly 60 metres north to south and 50 metres east to west, defined partly by a scarped edge and partly by a raised bank. Even then, the record noted an incomplete circuit, with no enclosing element on the northern arc between north-north-west and north-north-east, and a field boundary cutting into the bank on the south-western to south-eastern side. The note compiled by Denis Power and uploaded to the archaeological record in March 2013 confirms that the monument has since been levelled. What the survey found on the ground amounted to a gentle oval depression, roughly 27 metres across its north-east to south-west axis and only about 0.2 metres deep, with faint traces of a bank surviving to the north-east and south-east, its external height still 0.2 metres but its internal face reduced to less than a tenth of that. The site sits approximately ten metres to the north-west of a second enclosure, LI013-041, suggesting this was once a landscape with more than one such feature in close proximity.

The ringfort is located to the east of a small road within the green space of the housing estate, so there is no question of access in the conventional sense; it is, effectively, public open ground. What rewards attention here is not spectacle but scale. Crouching near the depression and looking along the faint surviving bank from north-east to south-east gives some sense of what the original circuit must have traced. The ground reads most clearly in low, raking light, in the early morning or late afternoon, when shadows gather in even shallow depressions. The companion enclosure to the south-east is worth locating too, as the proximity of the two monuments raises questions about how this particular patch of Limerick farmland was organised and occupied many centuries before the estate roads were laid.
