Easy to walk past without a second glance, it survives only as a shallow depression ringing a gently elevated platform, the kind of subtle earthwork that rewards anyone who knows what to look for underfoot rather than overhead.

A rath is a type of ringfort, typically a circular enclosure defined by an earthen bank and ditch, used during the early medieval period in Ireland as a farmstead or place of habitation. This one was still legible enough in 1842 to be recorded on the Ordnance Survey six-inch map as a hachured circular enclosure with a diameter of around 20 metres. By the time of modern survey, the bank had been levelled entirely, leaving a slightly raised oval area measuring roughly 18.7 metres east to west and 18.3 metres north to south, defined by a fosse, or ditch, that is now no more than 0.2 metres deep and about 10 metres wide across its top. The flattening was most likely the result of agricultural clearance over the centuries, a fate shared by a great many ringforts across Ireland as land was converted and reworked for grazing and tillage.
