Known locally as Rabitte's Fort, a name recorded by Neary as far back as 1914, it carries the quiet distinction of a place that has been slowly surrendering its shape to the land for centuries. What remains is a rath, the Irish term for a roughly circular enclosure defined by an earthen bank and ditch, once the most common form of rural settlement in early medieval Ireland. Here, the defining bank survives only in fragments, a stone-lined stretch at the south-east and elsewhere little more than a scrap of raised ground.

The site measures around 38 metres in diameter, which places it within the typical range for a single-family farmstead of the early medieval period. More intriguing than the surface remains is what lies beneath: the fort contains a souterrain, an underground stone-built passage or chamber that would originally have served the settlement above, most likely as a place of refuge or cool storage. Souterrains are relatively common companions to ringforts across Ireland, though they are often only discovered or confirmed through excavation. Whether this one remains structurally intact is not recorded, but its presence suggests that whoever lived within Rabitte's Fort invested considerable effort in their holding, even if the earthworks above ground have since nearly vanished into the grass.
