The raised area measures twenty-two metres across, enclosed by a bank five metres wide, though it rises only slightly above the surrounding ground, a modest interior height of around twenty centimetres. There is no fosse, the external ditch that typically accompanies a rath, visible at ground level, which gives the structure an unusually subtle profile. A rath is an early medieval farmstead enclosure, usually dating from roughly the fifth to the twelfth century, built to demarcate a family's territory and provide a degree of protection for livestock. This one sits on its ridge without drama, easy to overlook.

The south-eastern quadrant of the bank preserves a gap four metres wide, the original entrance point into the enclosure. It is one of the clearest surviving features on site. The north-eastern third of the interior is less readable: field clearance rubble, stone gathered from surrounding farmland over generations and dumped inside the bank, has buried the internal face of the earthwork along the arc from north-north-east to south-east. This kind of accumulation is common on raths that have remained in agricultural use, and it says something about the longevity of the ridge as farmed ground. The rubble obscures what may once have been a more pronounced internal slope, but the outer form of the enclosure remains coherent enough to trace the full circuit on foot.
