The outline is roughly circular, measuring around 32.5 metres east to west and 27.7 metres north to south, enclosed by a worn earthen bank that retains traces of stone-facing in places. A gap about two metres wide breaks the bank to the west-north-west, likely the original entrance. To the north and east, a shallow external fosse, the ditch that would have reinforced the bank as a boundary and barrier, remains visible, and in places to the east it still holds water.

This is a rath, the most common type of early medieval settlement in Ireland, typically dating from roughly the sixth to the twelfth century. Raths were enclosed farmsteads, home to a family and their livestock, with the bank and fosse serving more as a marker of status and a check on cattle than as serious military fortification. What makes this particular example quietly interesting is its companion feature: a fulacht fiadh lies to the east of the enclosure. A fulacht fiadh is an ancient burnt-mound site, usually associated with the cooking or processing of food through water heated with fire-cracked stones, and such sites most commonly date to the Bronze Age, well before the ringfort itself. Their proximity here is not necessarily evidence of direct connection, but it does suggest that this patch of ground attracted settled human activity across very different periods. The field fence running along the outside of the enclosure still respects the line of the old bank, which is itself a small detail worth noting: the landscape has quietly worked around this feature rather than through it.
