What looks at first like an unremarkable undulation in the pasture is, on closer inspection, the surviving outline of a double-banked ringfort, its roughly oval shape measuring about 36.7 metres from west-southwest to east-northeast and 32.8 metres across the narrower axis. The gap in the earthwork at the west-northwest may well be original, the point where people once entered and left a settlement that has long since dissolved into the landscape.

The site is a rath, the most common type of early medieval enclosed settlement in Ireland, typically consisting of one or more earthen banks with a ditch, or fosse, dug between them. This one is bivatllate, meaning it has two banks with a fosse running between them. That double-bank arrangement survives reasonably well along the northern and northwestern arc, where the banks and the intervening fosse can still be read clearly. Around the rest of the circuit, the outer elements have been worn or ploughed away over the centuries, leaving only a degraded inner scarp, essentially the softened ghost of the original bank, to define the enclosure. The condition is described as fair, which in the language of field archaeology means enough survives to understand the structure, though time and agriculture have not been entirely kind to it.
