The site sits on a south-south-west-facing slope in rough pasture near Kilmihil, in the old barony of Connello Upper, and the earthworks that define it are almost entirely swallowed by thorn scrub and briars. That concealment is, in a way, the most interesting thing about it: the structure survives precisely because nothing much has disturbed it.

A rath is an early medieval ringfort, the most common monument type in the Irish landscape, typically dating from roughly the fifth to the twelfth century and understood to have functioned as a farmstead enclosure for a family of some local standing. This particular example encloses a circular area thirty-three metres in diameter. The enclosing element varies around its circuit: at the east-south-east it takes the form of an earthen bank, standing just half a metre above the interior but rising to 2.2 metres on the outer face, which is a meaningful height and suggests the original construction was substantial. At the south-west the bank gives way to a scarped edge, where the ground has been cut rather than built up, measuring 1.6 metres high and nearly 5.7 metres wide. Running around the south-south-west to west-south-west arc is an external fosse, a defensive ditch, though now shallow at around 0.35 metres deep and less than two metres wide, and filled in places with loose stones. A field boundary follows the outer edge of the fosse from south-south-west to north-north-west, suggesting the monument was incorporated into later agricultural planning even as it was left unploughed. The record was compiled by Denis Power and uploaded in August 2011.

Accessing the interior is not straightforward. The dense thicket of thorn and briars that covers the enclosed area makes it effectively impassable without tools, and the fosse is obscured by the same overgrowth that masks the bank. The exterior profile, particularly on the south-west side where the scarp is most pronounced, gives the clearest sense of the monument's original ambition. Walking the outer edge of the fosse, where the field boundary still runs, is probably the most legible way to read the circuit. Autumn or winter, when vegetation has died back, will reveal the earthworks more clearly than any other season.
