What was once a rath, a type of circular earthen ringfort used as a defended farmstead in early medieval Ireland, now reads as little more than a shallow ripple in a pasture field. The ground has been levelled and absorbed into agricultural use, yet the underlying geometry of the original structure refuses to vanish entirely.

The site is recorded on the 1923 Ordnance Survey six-inch map as a clearly defined circular enclosure, which gives some indication of how much has been lost in the intervening decades. By the time Denis Power compiled the record in 2011, the monument had been reduced considerably. Even so, surveyors were able to identify a circular area roughly twenty metres in diameter, still defined by an earthen bank standing no more than fifteen centimetres above the interior ground level and twenty-five centimetres above the exterior. Beyond the bank, the remnants of an external fosse, a defensive ditch running around the outside of the enclosure, remain faintly legible; it measures approximately two metres wide and drops around twenty centimetres below the surrounding ground. For a feature that has been actively farmed over, that persistence is itself worth noting.

The site sits in pasture that slopes down towards a stream to the west, which is fairly typical placement for a rath; early medieval farmers often chose ground near water for practical reasons. Visitors should not expect a dramatic landscape feature. The bank and fosse are subtle enough that walking the field and watching the ground carefully, looking for the slight rise and the faint hollow beyond it, is the only reliable way to perceive the circuit. The grass covering makes the earthworks somewhat easier to read in low winter light or after a period of rain, when slight changes in elevation cast longer shadows and the difference in drainage between disturbed and undisturbed ground sometimes shows in the colour of the sward.
