A bullaun stone, one of those hollowed granite boulders associated with early Christian and pre-Christian ritual use in Ireland, was recorded on the site during a visit in 1977. By the time surveyors returned, it was gone. No explanation is offered in the record, and none is needed; the loss itself says something about how these sites exist in the world, half-managed, half-forgotten, occasionally raided for garden ornaments or building material.

The fort itself is a rath, the most common type of early medieval enclosure in Ireland, typically built between roughly the fifth and twelfth centuries as a defended farmstead for a single family or small household. This example sits on a very gentle south to south-westerly facing slope and measures forty-three metres in diameter, defined by an earth and stone bank between two and a half and three and a half metres wide. The bank stands between eighty centimetres and a metre and a half above the interior, depending on which face you measure from, and its outer edge has been reinforced at some point with modern drystone walling. There is a pronounced slope running northeast to southwest across the interior, which would have made any original structure inside sit at a slight tilt. A possible entrance survives at the southwest, though it has been disturbed. There is no sign of an external fosse, the defensive ditch that commonly accompanies this type of monument, which may indicate the bank was considered sufficient, or simply that any ditch has been levelled over time. The only features inside are two small clearance cairns, low piles of stone gathered from the ground surface, suggesting the interior has seen some agricultural tidying at some point in its post-medieval life.
