The bank that once enclosed this rath, the Irish term for a ringfort, the most common type of early medieval settlement in Ireland, typically a circular area bounded by one or more earthen banks and ditches, has been worn down to little more than a scarp. The external ditch that would once have defined its edge survives, but only just, readable on Ordnance Survey Ireland orthophotos taken between 2005 and 2012, and confirmed on a Google Earth image captured on 18 November 2018.

What makes the site particularly interesting is not the ringfort in isolation but the density of early activity concentrated in this small area of ground. Within 34 metres to the north-north-west lie two ring-barrows, which are low circular funerary monuments enclosed by a ditch, distinct from the domestic function associated with raths. A further 30 metres to the north-north-east stands another ringfort, accompanied by a hut site. The same 2018 Google Earth image also reveals two ditch-barrows to the north-north-east and north-north-west respectively, bringing the cluster of monuments recorded in the immediate vicinity to at least seven. The site was compiled by Caimin O'Brien, drawing on details provided by Edmond O'Donovan, whose Google Earth orthophotograph brought the monument's outline into sharper focus when the record was uploaded in September 2020.

For anyone hoping to visit, the practicalities are shaped by the land itself. The pasture is wet and only partially reclaimed, so the ground can be heavy going, particularly outside the summer months. There is no formal access or visitor infrastructure. The earthwork is most legible not from within the field but from aerial and satellite sources, and a session with Google Earth or the OSi historical map viewer before setting out will give a clearer sense of what to look for than walking the site cold. What a visitor on the ground might notice is the subtle bowl and rise of the surviving scarp, easy to dismiss as a natural feature if you do not already know to look for it.
