The site occupies a strategic position just below the hill’s summit, with sweeping views across undulating grassland to the southeast and northwest, whilst a higher forested ridge rises 400 metres to the east. Though another rath lies 240 metres to the south, this particular enclosure has been so thoroughly levelled that it escaped the attention of Ordnance Survey mapmakers entirely.

What remains today is barely perceptible at ground level, but modern technology has revealed its secrets. Lidar imagery clearly shows the outline of a subcircular enclosure measuring 58 metres north to south and 46 to 50 metres east to west. The ghostly footprint of the original bank or scarp can still be traced where it merges with the natural contours of the hillside, particularly along the southeastern arc and southwestern to western sections. The northeastern portion has been incorporated into a later field bank, complete with post and wire fencing and a hawthorn hedgerow, which follows the curve of the ancient enclosure and may preserve remnants of the original defensive earthwork.

The interior remains relatively level except for a gentle slope on the eastern side, and a cluster of large boulders scattered across the northeastern quadrant hints at possible structural remains or later field clearance. The defensive advantages of the site become clear when considering the terrain; the hill slope drops away steeply on the western side whilst descending more gradually to the east and south where the ridge gradually tapers off. This careful positioning, typical of Irish raths, would have provided both security and commanding views for its early medieval inhabitants, who likely farmed the surrounding lands whilst keeping watch over their territory from this elevated stronghold.
