What remains is a circular rath, a type of enclosed farmstead typically built between roughly 500 and 1000 AD, defined originally by two earthen banks with a fosse, or ditch, running between them. At 33 metres in diameter, it would once have enclosed a domestic space of some significance, the banks and fosse serving as much as a statement of status as a practical boundary.

Today the site is poorly preserved. The fosse and outer bank survive only on the northern side, where the original form of the monument can still be read in the ground, if only faintly. Elsewhere, time and agricultural activity have done their work. A field wall cuts directly through the monument at the north, a commonplace indignity suffered by many such sites across Ireland as later generations of farmers drew their boundaries without particular regard for what lay beneath or around them. It is a small, quiet example of how the archaeological record of early Ireland has been eroded not through any single dramatic event, but through the accumulation of ordinary, practical decisions made across many generations.
