Set on a gentle rise in undulating pasture in County Sligo, this roughly oval enclosure measures around 24 metres northeast to southwest and 21 metres northwest to southeast, making it a modest example of the rath, the commonest type of enclosed settlement in early medieval Ireland. A rath is essentially a farmstead surrounded by one or more earthen banks, built to provide security for people, livestock, and stores. Here, the enclosing bank is considerably wide at 7.5 metres, and its outer face rises to 2.4 metres on the northern side, giving the interior a sheltered, bowl-like quality even now.

The interior holds two features worth noting. Near the centre is what appears to be the remains of a hut site, the kind of modest circular structure that would once have served as a dwelling within the protected enclosure. In the southwest quadrant, a raised area in the ground has attracted local tradition for generations; people in the area have long associated it with a souterrain, an underground passage or chamber typically dug beneath or beside a ringfort and used for storage or concealment. Whether that tradition accurately reflects what lies beneath the surface has not been confirmed, but it is a reminder that local memory often preserves knowledge that formal survey takes longer to verify. The original entrance to the enclosure has been lost to time and the slow reshaping of the earthwork, leaving no obvious gap in the bank to suggest where inhabitants would once have passed through.
