This rectangular earthwork consists of a grassy platform measuring roughly 33 to 41 metres from northeast to southwest, and about 31.5 metres from northwest to southeast. The site is defined by substantial earthen banks, particularly prominent on the northeastern side, which rise between 4.5 and 5 metres wide and stand about a metre high on the inside, whilst the exterior height varies from 1.1 metres at the northwestern end to 2 metres at the northeastern corner.

The defensive features of this site are quite well preserved, with outer moats visible on three sides; the northeastern, southeastern and southwestern boundaries. These moats, measuring between 4.2 and 5 metres wide at their base, vary in depth from just 10 centimetres to 40 centimetres deep. An additional outer bank can be found at the southwestern end of the southeastern side, measuring 6 metres wide and standing nearly a metre high on its inner face, though only 60 centimetres on the outer side. A laneway running northwest to southeast now crosses the southwestern perimeter of the site.

This moated site isn’t isolated in the landscape; another rath, catalogued as RO017-175, sits approximately 70 metres to the northwest. Such proximity between different types of medieval earthworks is relatively common in the Irish countryside and suggests this area held some importance during the medieval period, possibly serving as a small settlement cluster or forming part of a larger estate system.
