What remains is a univallate rath, meaning a ringfort enclosed by a single bank and ditch, a form of enclosed settlement that was widespread across early medieval Ireland. Despite the gaps that now break its circuit, the bank survives to a height of 1.8 metres on its western side, built from a mixture of earth, gravel, and a considerable quantity of stone.

The interior measures roughly 21 metres north to south and 20 metres east to west, a fairly typical scale for a rath of this kind, large enough to have sheltered a small farmstead and its immediate household. Within the northwest quadrant, an overgrown stony mound may be all that now survives of a hut structure, its original form long since obscured by vegetation and the slow collapse of whatever walls once stood. The relationship between the rath and the river below it suggests a deliberate choice of position, one that offered both a clear view to the south and some degree of natural shelter from the higher ground of Bentee to the north.
