Today, only fragments of this once-substantial structure remain visible; the southeast section of an overgrown scarp, standing about 30 centimetres high and tangled with thorn bushes and nettles, along with an eastern bank that now serves as a field boundary. This surviving bank measures approximately one metre wide at its top and three metres at its base, rising to about half a metre in height on both its interior and exterior faces.

The site’s original footprint becomes clearer when consulting historical records. The first edition Ordnance Survey map from 1840 depicts this location as a rectangular enclosure measuring 48 metres from north to south and 44 metres from east to west, with its eastern side already incorporated into the existing field boundary system. This documentary evidence suggests the site was still recognisable as a distinct feature in the landscape during the mid-19th century, though much of it has since been levelled through agricultural activity.

Moated sites like this one were typically constructed during the Anglo-Norman period in Ireland, serving as fortified farmsteads for colonising settlers. The earthwork defences, which would have originally included a water-filled moat surrounding a raised platform, provided both practical protection and a symbol of authority in the medieval landscape. Though most of the monument has disappeared beneath centuries of farming, its surviving elements and cartographic record help piece together the story of medieval settlement patterns in South Tipperary.
