The site consists of a subcircular enclosure measuring 35 metres in internal diameter, defended by a substantial earthen bank with a deep fosse (defensive ditch) and a smaller outer bank. These multiple layers of earthworks would have provided both protection and status to the farming family who lived here, likely during the early medieval period when such settlements were common across Ireland.

The ringfort’s strategic position above the River Erne placed it in prime agricultural land, essential for the mixed farming economy that sustained these communities. A gap in the inner bank on the eastern side may mark the original entrance, though it could be a later modification. The site also features two rectangular depressions; a smaller one on the northern side and a larger one to the east, which may represent more recent disturbances to the ancient earthworks rather than original features.

Like thousands of similar sites across Ireland, this rath would have been home to a prosperous farming family, their livestock, and perhaps their dependents. The substantial nature of the defences, with both an inner and outer bank plus the fosse, suggests this was a relatively important settlement in the local landscape. Today, these earthworks stand as reminders of a time when the Irish countryside was organised into numerous small, self-sufficient farming units, each protected by their own circular fortifications.
