A rath, as these early medieval enclosed settlements are known, typically survives as a raised circular or oval earthen bank enclosing a domestic space, sometimes with an outer fosse or ditch. Here, the bank was levelled around 1870, most likely cleared to improve agricultural land, and what remains is largely a matter of reading the landscape for faint clues rather than standing before any obvious monument.

The 1842 Ordnance Survey six-inch map recorded the site clearly enough: an oval enclosure measuring roughly 50 metres east to west and 40 metres north to south, set on a north-north-west-facing slope with an open view northward. That orientation and outlook would have been practical for an early medieval farming household, the typical occupants of a rath, balancing exposure to light against shelter. When the bank was removed in the decades after the map was made, the field boundary that replaced it was not entirely indifferent to what had been there. A stone-faced field fence, standing about 1.1 metres high, follows the line of the original bank from south to north, preserving its course even as it erased its form. A shallow depression just to the east of that fence, around 35 centimetres deep and 2 metres wide, is the only earthwork trace that survives. It may represent the outer edge of the original bank, or possibly the remnant of a fosse.

There is little to see at ground level now beyond that low depression and the fence line, but the site is a quiet example of how agricultural improvement in the nineteenth century routinely dismantled monuments that had stood for over a thousand years, leaving only the faintest compression in the grass to mark where people once lived.
