Known locally as the Raheen, a name derived from the Irish "ráithín" meaning a small ringfort or enclosure, it takes the form of a circular earthwork roughly 35 metres across. Nothing of it is now visible at ground level, which puts it in an interesting category of places: known, named, remembered, and yet effectively invisible to anyone standing on the spot.

The site was recorded by O'Flanagan in 1928, who noted both its circular form and its tradition as a burial ground. Circular enclosures of this kind in Ireland are often ambiguous things, carrying histories that shift across centuries from domestic use to sacred or funerary purpose. The "raheen" placename itself tends to attach to features that communities continued to recognise and name long after the physical structure had eroded or been absorbed into farmland. That this one retained its local designation into the twentieth century suggests the memory of it persisted even as the earthwork disappeared. Whether it was ever formally excavated, or whether its use as a burial ground was established through discovery of remains or simply through oral tradition, the 1928 account does not make clear.
