A rath, the Irish term for a roughly circular earthwork enclosure typically dating from the early medieval period, sits atop a hill in pasture, its interior holding a burial ground. The two features share the same bounded space, the living and the dead folded into the same ancient geometry.

The site was recorded on the Ordnance Survey six-inch map of 1842 as a circular platform roughly 40 metres in diameter, marked with hachures to indicate the raised ground. An earthen bank, surviving to about a metre in height, still traces the circuit from the south-east around to the north-north-east. That bank has not been maintained in isolation; it has been absorbed into the field fence system, so that a boundary drawn in early medieval Ireland now quietly doubles as a working agricultural boundary. The burial ground recorded within the interior carries its own separate designation, suggesting it was recognised as a distinct feature rather than simply assumed to be part of the rath itself.
