The fence bisects this small ringfort from south-east to north-west, dividing what was once a single enclosed space into two awkward halves, one of which has since been planted with conifers. It is a quietly odd fate for a structure that would originally have served as the enclosed homestead of an early medieval farming family.

A univallate rath, meaning a ringfort defined by a single enclosing bank and external ditch, this example has an internal diameter of around 20 metres, roughly typical for the type. The earthen bank that rings it survives to a height of 0.85 metres on the interior and 1.4 metres on the exterior, the difference reflecting how material was originally thrown inward and upward from a ditch cut around the outside. What the site cannot tell us clearly is where people once walked in and out. Four breaks in the bank exist, but these correspond to where the later field fence crosses the earthwork, and are almost certainly modern disturbances. Two other gaps, one at the north-north-east measuring 0.9 metres wide, another at the south-south-west at 0.6 metres, are the likelier candidates for the original entrance, though neither can be confirmed with certainty. More intriguing still is what is no longer there. The first-edition Ordnance Survey map recorded a souterrain, an underground stone-lined passage typically used for storage or refuge, at the centre of the enclosure. No trace of it survives above or below ground today. Whether it was excavated, collapsed, or simply misrecorded is unknown. The rath overlooks the valley of the Emlagh river, and was documented as part of J. Cuppage's 1986 archaeological survey of the Corca Dhuibhne region.
