A ringfort, or rath, is an enclosed farmstead of the early medieval period, typically circular in plan and defined by an earthen bank and outer ditch. This one, when first recorded on the Ordnance Survey six-inch map of 1842, measured roughly thirty metres across, a modest but complete circular enclosure. By the time the same survey was revised in 1934, a quarry had already begun eating into the south-western quadrant of the interior. That quarry, extending from the west, has since destroyed much of what the enclosure once contained.

What survives is a partial arc of earthen bank, running from north to south-south-west, with an internal height of around 0.4 metres and an external height of 0.9 metres, the difference reflecting the original effort to make the outer face more imposing. A shallow external fosse, the ditch that would have sat just outside the bank to add both drainage and a degree of defence, remains detectable on the southern side, though at only 0.2 metres deep it is far reduced from whatever it once was. The bank itself is heavily overgrown, and on the northern side deep ploughing has further disrupted the structure. The arc now spans a diameter of roughly 26 metres north to south, a smaller ghost of the original circuit.

The site sits within woodland, which has in some ways preserved the remnant earthworks from further agricultural interference, even as the trees obscure any clear sense of the original form. The combination of quarrying, ploughing, and encroaching vegetation means that what a visitor encounters today is less a legible monument than a series of subtle landforms, a low swelling of ground here, a faint hollow there, each one a fragment of something that was already beginning to erode before the twentieth century had properly begun.
