Measuring roughly 54 metres north to south and nearly 50 metres east to west, it is a large, roughly circular enclosure of the kind known as a univallate rath, meaning it has a single enclosing bank rather than the concentric rings found at more elaborately defended sites. Inside that bank, the traces of not one but three circular huts survive, and somewhere beneath the surface lies a souterrain, an underground stone-built passage that would have served for storage or as a place of refuge. What makes this site particularly arresting is the accumulation of things that have almost, but not quite, disappeared.

The enclosure's earthen bank still stands to an average internal height of around 1.75 metres and reaches a basal width of 4.2 metres at its eastern side. A causeway crosses the external fosse, a rock-cut or earthen ditch that runs around the outside and averages 1.1 metres deep, leading to an entrance gap of 2.75 metres in the bank. A second gap on the western side appears to be a later, probably modern, break. Inside, the gently sloping ground carries a series of east-to-west cultivation ridges that seem to have been laid out in deliberate avoidance of the hut positions, suggesting some memory or continued awareness of the structures even while the land was being farmed. The smallest surviving hut, in the south-west quadrant, retains sod-covered stone walls still visible to about 30 centimetres. The other two, recorded by Henry in 1957 as circular huts in the north-west and north-east quadrants and measuring 6 metres and 8 metres in diameter respectively, suffered a more deliberate fate. Donaldson noted in 1956 that their stone foundations had been quarried away in the early 1920s during construction of a nearby waterworks.

The souterrain, a roofed underground passage built with upright stone slabs at its base and drystone walling above, capped with stone lintels, ran east to west and was reportedly accessible within living memory through an opening near the first hut. No trace of it is visible at the surface today. That absence sits at the centre of what this site is: a place where the archaeological record and the lived experience of the landscape have been slowly pulling in opposite directions, with quarrying, farming, and the passage of time each taking their share.
