That the boundary does not care, or even notice, tells you something about how thoroughly this particular site has faded from view.

The monument is a rath, the Irish term for a ringfort, which was the most common form of rural settlement in early medieval Ireland, typically consisting of a circular area enclosed by one or more earthen banks and ditches. This example measures around 28 metres in diameter. What survives is slight: a degraded scarp, the remnant of what would once have been a raised bank, and an intervening fosse, the shallow ditch that ran alongside it. There are traces, uncertain ones, of a possible outer bank as well, suggesting the enclosure may originally have been more substantial than what remains. The surviving earthworks run from the north-east around through the south to the south-south-west, with a later field boundary cutting across and obscuring what is left. The grassland setting is quiet and largely unremarkable, which makes it easier to miss what the slight changes in ground level are actually describing.
