The earthen bank enclosing it still stands to about 1.8 metres in height, and the whole enclosure measures roughly 33 metres across, making it a fairly typical example of a rath, the Early Medieval farmstead type that once dotted the Irish countryside in the tens of thousands. What lifts this particular site a little out of the ordinary is the evidence of a more elaborate original design.

A second bank, stone-faced and running from west around to north-north-west, appears to have been absorbed into the field fence system over the centuries, its original purpose gradually buried under the practical demands of later farming. A 1937 account by Broker noted that the enclosure once had a double fence, which matches what survives on the ground. Ringforts with two concentric enclosures, sometimes called bivallate raths, were generally associated with higher-status households in Early Medieval Ireland, suggesting the site may have belonged to someone of local importance. Gaps in the bank to the north, south-east, and south-west hint at original entrances, though it is difficult now to say which was primary. There is also the possibility of a souterrain beneath the interior; these underground stone-lined passages, commonly found within ringforts, were used for storage or as a place of refuge, and their presence often points to a site that was occupied for a significant period.
