What survives is barely legible: a scarp, an external fosse (a defensive ditch encircling the outer edge), and a low, ill-defined mound curving around from the south-east to the west. Together, these suggest a rath, the earthen ringfort that was the standard unit of rural settlement in early medieval Ireland, typically housing a single farming family and their livestock within a raised circular bank.

This particular example is almost circular, measuring roughly 40 metres north to south and 39 metres east to west, which puts it within the typical size range for a single-ring rath. The condition is poor, the earthworks worn down over centuries of agriculture and weather, but a gap of about six metres at the west-north-west may represent the original entrance, possibly accompanied by a causeway crossing the fosse. The low outer mound, if that is indeed what it is, would have made this a bivallate ringfort, meaning one with two concentric banks rather than one, a feature sometimes associated with higher-status occupants in early medieval Ireland. The word "may" does a lot of work in describing this site, and honestly that is part of what makes it interesting: it survives just enough to raise questions it can no longer fully answer.
