What looks at first like a natural mound is in fact a rath, an enclosed Early Medieval farmstead, its circular form still legible in the landscape despite centuries of agricultural activity pressing in on all sides.

The enclosure measures around 26 metres in diameter and is defined by two earthen banks with a fosse, or ditch, running between them. Double-banked raths of this kind were generally associated with higher-status households in Early Medieval Ireland, the additional earthwork suggesting a degree of wealth or social standing beyond the ordinary. The site is in fair condition, though a field wall has been built directly over the outer bank along its northern to north-eastern arc, the kind of practical repurposing that has quietly altered countless such monuments across the country. Inside the enclosure, in its western sector, the remains of a circular stone-walled house roughly 4 metres across survive beneath a covering of grass and soil. To the south of this, a rectangular hollow some 3 metres in length may be the entrance or collapsed roof of a souterrain. A souterrain is an underground stone-lined passage or chamber, typically associated with Irish raths and ringforts, and thought to have served for storage, refuge, or both. The tentative identification here reflects how such features often present in the field: as a slight depression, an anomaly in the ground, something that prompts a question rather than providing an immediate answer.
