The enclosing bank, a rath being the earthen version of a ringfort, the type that once served as a farmstead enclosure during the early medieval period, rises barely half a metre on its outer face. The shallow ditch, or fosse, that once reinforced it is only fifteen centimetres deep in places, and to the south-west it has disappeared entirely. And yet the shape endures, a circle roughly thirty-one metres across, quietly holding its form in a pasture field on a gentle north-east-facing slope.

What makes this site particularly interesting is the way the land itself seems to be reclaiming it. The interior slopes down towards the west and has become wet and waterlogged, with rushes colonising the lower ground. The entrance gap, nearly six metres wide and oriented to the east-north-east, is still identifiable, as is the drainage ditch and field boundary that now skirts the southern arc of the bank. These later agricultural features have effectively been grafted onto the ancient enclosure, the two periods of land use overlapping without quite erasing one another. The site is also legible from the air, appearing as a shadow site in aerial photography, meaning the underlying archaeology shows up as a faint tonal or crop difference even where physical remains are minimal.

For anyone walking the area, the ringfort sits in ordinary working pasture and reads, at ground level, as little more than a slight rise in the grass. The rushes in the interior are a useful marker. It is the kind of site that rewards patience and a low sun angle, when the shallow earthworks cast just enough shadow to give the circle back its original geometry.
