This rath in the townland of Glebe, within the barony of Glenquin in County Limerick, survives in level pasture, its circular outline still legible despite everything the working landscape has thrown at it. A rath, sometimes called a ringfort, is an enclosed farmstead of the early medieval period, typically dating from roughly the fifth to the twelfth century, and defined by one or more earthen banks and ditches. Here the defining feature is a scarped edge, meaning the ground has been cut and shaped to create a low but deliberate slope, rather than a raised bank built up from material heaped outward.

The enclosure measures approximately 35.6 metres north to south and 33.4 metres east to west, making it a modest but representative example of the type. The scarp itself stands only about 0.4 metres high and extends roughly 3.3 metres in width. A field boundary follows the base of the scarp along an east to west line, suggesting that subsequent agricultural divisions of the land were organised partly in relation to the older earthwork rather than ignoring it entirely. The survey notes, compiled by Denis Power and uploaded in August 2011, record that cattle have eroded the scarp along the eastern to east-south-eastern arc, a gradual process of trampling and grazing that has worn down one of the more exposed sections. The interior, by contrast, is level, dry, and free of overgrowth, giving the enclosed space a quiet legibility.

A farm trackway runs roughly fifteen metres to the north of the enclosure, which means the site is skirted rather than bisected by regular agricultural movement. Visitors approaching across the surrounding pasture should look for the subtle change in ground level that marks the scarp, since there is no dramatic bank to catch the eye from a distance. The eastern side, being the most eroded, offers the least clear impression of the original edge; the western arc, despite the intrusion of the septic tank at the north-west, retains a more coherent profile. As with many raths in active farmland, permission from the landowner would be necessary before approaching, and the ground underfoot will vary considerably with the season.
