What looks at first like a slight swelling in the ground resolves, on approach, into a roughly circular enclosure nearly thirty metres across, its perimeter defined by a stone bank that is better preserved to the north and west, where the natural fall of the land gives its outer face more height, than to the south, where it has worn down to something barely distinguishable from the surrounding field. Large stones protrude from the bank on the eastern and south-eastern sides, possibly the remnants of an original stone facing, which raises an interesting question about what exactly this structure once was. Ringforts, or raths, are among the most common monument types in Ireland, generally interpreted as enclosed farmsteads from the early medieval period, and they can be earthen, stone-built, or somewhere between the two. Here, the enclosing bank may represent the heavily modified remains of an earthen bank, or it could be the eroded remnant of a cashel wall, the term used for a ringfort built primarily of dry stone. No clearly defined entrance gap survives.

The interior holds further layers of disturbance. A subrectangular quarry pit, roughly 6.5 metres by 5.7 metres and about a metre deep, has been cut into the eastern half of the enclosure, with a heap of upcast stone still mounded to its south-west side. Several other sod-covered stony heaps are scattered around the interior, each around five metres across and up to about half a metre high, suggesting further episodes of digging or stone clearance over time. A later property wall, running on a north-south axis, cuts across the eastern edge of the interior, a reminder that agricultural boundaries have been drawn and redrawn across this landscape for centuries. Cultivation ridges, visible in the surrounding field on a roughly north-south alignment, reinforce the sense of long, overlapping land use. Another monument, a rath, lies approximately 270 metres to the south-east, hinting at a wider pattern of early settlement activity in this part of Mayo. The site sits close to a stream to the south, with broader views opening out particularly to the north-west.
