This one in Doocatteen, County Limerick, sits so quietly in level pasture that its concentric earthen banks barely interrupt the surrounding fields. A ringfort, or rath, was a typical form of enclosed farmstead used in early medieval Ireland, generally dating from roughly the sixth to the twelfth centuries. They range from simple single-banked enclosures to more elaborate multivallate examples, and the presence of two concentric banks here places Doocatteen's rath at the more substantial end of that spectrum, suggesting the household it once protected may have carried some local status.

The site was recorded by Denis Power and uploaded to the national survey in August 2011. Its measurements are modest but precise: the interior spans roughly 35 metres north to south and 37.2 metres east to west, enclosed first by an internal earthen bank and then by an outer one, with a fosse, that is a defensive ditch, running between them at a width of 3.25 metres. The internal bank survives as a complete circuit, standing up to 1.35 metres on its exterior face. The outer bank is less complete, surviving only from the south-south-east around to the west; the remainder has almost certainly been absorbed into the field boundary that curves around the site from the north-west to the east. That kind of gradual incorporation into agricultural boundaries is one of the more common ways that ringfort earthworks are quietly erased over centuries.

For anyone approaching the site today, there are several gaps that allow access. A causeway, apparently constructed recently at the time of recording, crosses the fosse on the western side at a width of four metres, providing the most straightforward entry point. Separate gaps exist in the internal bank at the north and in both banks at the south. The interior itself was noted as level, dry, and clear of overgrowth, which means the layout of the enclosure reads more legibly on the ground than it might at a more neglected site. The field boundary abutting the outer bank at the south-south-east is worth attention too, as it offers a tangible illustration of how the modern agricultural landscape and the early medieval one have folded into each other over time.
