What remains is a circular rath, a type of enclosed farmstead common across early medieval Ireland, where a single family or small household would have kept their home, their animals, and their valuables within a ring of raised banks and ditches. This one measures thirty-one metres in diameter, and while that is a modest size, it would once have presented a deliberate and legible boundary between the domestic world inside and the open land beyond.

The site is defined by two banks with an intervening fosse, the fosse being the ditch dug between them, its soil thrown outward to raise the banks and deepen the defensive profile. A causeway at the south-west marks where an entrance once stood, a gap left deliberately in the earthworks to allow passage in and out. That detail alone gives the place a quiet legibility; you can still read the intention of the people who built it. The northern and eastern arc of the structure has fared less well, with the fosse and outer bank failing to survive from the north-north-east around through the east to the south-south-east, leaving that portion of the circuit incomplete and worn back into the surrounding ground.
