A sub-circular univallate rath, likely dating to the Early Medieval period (5th–10th centuries AD), representing a type of ringfort used as a domestic or agricultural settlement. Its significance lies in its contribution to understanding early Irish land use and settlement patterns, though its structural integrity has been compromised by later agricultural activity.
