This second enclosure is a rath, the Irish term for a roughly circular earthen ringfort typically used as a defended farmstead during the early medieval period, roughly between the fifth and twelfth centuries. What remains here is a subcircular bank, measuring approximately 32 metres north to south and 27.5 metres east to west, worn down to the point where it reads more as a gentle swell in the ground than any assertive boundary.

The enclosure is not well preserved. Quarrying has eaten into the bank at the south-east and south-south-west, removing sections of the very element that would once have defined the interior space. Around the northern and western arc, a faint depression traces what may have been an external fosse, the shallow ditch that would originally have reinforced the bank and marked the outer edge of the defended area. That depression is no longer definitive, just a suggestion in the topography, but its partial survival along a consistent arc lends it some credibility. At the eastern side, a gap roughly three metres wide may represent the original entrance, which in many raths faced east, though whether this opening is genuinely ancient or simply another point of degradation is difficult to say with certainty.
