The site measures roughly thirty metres in diameter, a scale that would have made it a reasonably significant rath. A rath is the Irish term for a ringfort, an enclosed settlement type that proliferated across Ireland between roughly the sixth and tenth centuries, typically defined by one or more concentric earthen banks. This one has largely vanished under the practical demands of farming life.

The enclosure was recorded on the Ordnance Survey six-inch map of 1842, where it appears as a hachured circle, the cartographic convention of the time for indicating an earthwork or raised feature. That mapping moment is often the last clear evidence we have for sites like this, captured just before agricultural improvement or development erased them from the ground entirely. By the time any systematic archaeological attention came to the area, a farmyard had already taken over the interior. What may survive, however, is a souterrain beneath the surface. A souterrain is an underground stone-lined passage, often associated with ringforts, thought to have served for storage, refuge, or both. Whether the one tentatively identified here remains intact is unknown.
