The rest has been levelled, leaving the arc to hint at what was once a complete enclosure.

Ringforts, known in Irish as raths, were the most common form of rural settlement in early medieval Ireland, typically consisting of a circular earthen or stone bank enclosing a farmstead. This one was modest even by the standards of the type. A researcher named Broker, writing in 1937, described a ringfort in the area as enclosing roughly one eighth of an acre, and the dimensions recorded across successive Ordnance Survey maps are consistent with that figure, placing the diameter at approximately twenty-two metres. The 1842 OS six-inch map shows it as a hachured circular enclosure, a standard cartographic convention for raised earthworks, while later maps from 1904 and 1938 record it simply as a circular field, suggesting that by then the enclosing bank had already lost much of its definition and the interior had been absorbed into ordinary agricultural use. The transition from archaeological feature to field boundary happened gradually, with the northern to south-eastern arc surviving precisely because it remained useful rather than because anyone set out to preserve it.
