The 1838 Ordnance Survey six-inch map recorded a circular enclosure here quite clearly, but by the time later editions were produced, it had vanished from the cartographic record entirely. The site itself, however, has not entirely vanished. It survives as a slightly raised circular area, roughly thirty metres across, its outline still legible on the ground even as the surrounding farmland has worked steadily at erasing it.

What remains is the ghost of a rath, a type of ringfort that would once have served as an enclosed farmstead, typically dating to the early medieval period in Ireland. The defining feature is a scarp, essentially a low earthen bank or slope cut into the ground to mark the boundary of the enclosure. Here, that scarp still stands to about a metre in height along the south-east to south arc of the circle, though it flattens to little more than a gentle undulation everywhere else. The interior is level and grass-covered, and the most likely entrance would have been to the east, where the natural slope of the hill eases. When the site was inspected in 1996, two straight field walls were found cutting across the scarp at the west and south, evidence of how agricultural reorganisation over the generations has worked its way through the older landscape. There were also two sod-covered stone heaps on the scarp at the south-east, probably the accumulated debris of field clearance, though these have since been removed. The sharp fall of ground to the west and north-west suggests the original builders chose this rise deliberately, as was common practice, for the modest defensive advantage and the visibility it offered.
