That dual prospect feels almost deliberate, as though whoever chose the site wanted to keep watch over two stretches of water simultaneously. Inside the enclosure, however, the more curious detail is not the view but what later generations left behind: a small stone structure, built on top of a low mound at the very centre of the interior, its entrance just sixty centimetres wide, likely used at some point as a pen for animals.

A rath, to use the Irish term, is a ringfort enclosed by an earthen bank rather than stone walls, typically dating from the early medieval period and used as a farmstead or the residence of a local family of some standing. This one is univallate, meaning it has a single enclosing bank, which rises two metres above the fosse on its outer side. A fosse is a defensive ditch, and here it survives to a depth of 1.5 metres and a width of 3 metres, though only around the eastern sector of the site; elsewhere it has been lost or obscured. The bank itself is composed of earth with a core of small stone, and a field boundary has been laid across the northwest portion at some later date, complicating the picture further. Three breaks in the bank, at the north-northeast, southeast, and west, are considered secondary, meaning they were made after the original construction, and the location of the true entrance remains uncertain. At the centre of the interior, the oval stone structure sits on a mound about a metre high, which may itself be the remnant of an earlier hut site, one layer of use quietly buried beneath another.
