A rath, the Irish term for a roughly circular earthen enclosure used as a farmstead during the early medieval period, once occupied a south-west-facing slope with a view down towards a stream valley. By the time anyone thought to formally record it, the structure had already been erased from the landscape, levelled according to local knowledge before 1895.

The enclosure was modest in scale, measuring approximately 24.3 metres across in both directions, placing it at the smaller end of the ringfort spectrum. It appears on the Ordnance Survey six-inch maps of both 1842 and 1937, rendered in the cartographic shorthand of hachured lines suggesting a roughly circular earthwork. That it still appears on the 1937 map, decades after its reported levelling, is not unusual; OS revision cycles were slow and surveyors often carried forward earlier detail rather than field-checking every feature. The site today retains only a low rise in the pasture, a faint swell in the ground that hints at the bank which once defined the enclosure.
