This raised circular earthwork, measuring roughly 20 metres north to south and 22 metres east to west, stands out from the surrounding grassland with its impressive defensive features. The site commands excellent views from east through south to west, whilst higher ground to the north would have provided natural protection from that direction.

The ringwork’s defensive structure consists of a substantial scarp between 1.5 and 2.5 metres high, surrounded by an outer fosse or ditch that measures 7 metres across at the top, narrowing to 2.7 metres at its base with an external depth of 1.2 metres. Curiously, these defensive features are only visible from the west through north to east; the downslope side shows no such fortifications, suggesting the builders relied on the natural topography for defence on that side. Time and human activity have taken their toll on the monument, with quarrying activity having damaged the southeastern section, removing a portion of both the scarp and interior that measures approximately 7 by 8 metres.

What makes this site particularly intriguing is its proximity to a church and graveyard just 100 metres to the north-northwest. This close association suggests the ringwork may have served as an earth and timber castle or perhaps the administrative centre of a medieval manor. Such ringworks were typical of Anglo-Norman fortifications in Ireland during the 12th and 13th centuries, often built quickly to establish control over newly conquered territories. Whilst no entrance feature remains visible today, these structures typically housed timber buildings within their protective banks and would have been bustling centres of local power and administration during their heyday.
