This sub-rectangular enclosure, measuring approximately 32 metres north to south and 29 metres east to west, sits within improved pasture land and represents a typical example of Anglo-Norman settlement patterns in medieval Ireland. The site is defined by substantial earthworks, including a bank along its southern edge that stands 0.6 metres high on the interior and rises to 1.8 metres on the exterior, whilst a formidable scarp averaging 1.5 metres in height forms the western, northern and eastern boundaries.

The defensive scarp is particularly well-preserved along the northern side, where it reaches an impressive 3.85 metres in height and spans 13 metres in width. Interestingly, the eastern section shows signs of ancient quarrying activity, creating an indented area roughly 13 metres by 9 metres and about a metre deep. At the north-northwest corner, the base of the scarp has been hollowed out to form an oval depression, whilst two possible entrances can be identified; a 7.5 metre wide opening at the southwest where the scarp dips lower, and a narrower 2 metre gap at the south, marked by what appears to be a slight causeway crossing the defensive ditch.

The surrounding fosse, or defensive ditch, varies in preservation around the perimeter, being most pronounced along the southern side where it measures 8.6 metres wide and 1.1 metres deep. Traces of this ditch can still be followed around the eastern and western sides, though much shallower at just 0.15 metres deep. The interior of the monument has been artificially raised on its northern side to create a level platform, now covered in uneven grassland. Large hollows dot the immediate landscape to the north-northwest and about 50 metres east-southeast, whilst linear banks to the east likely mark old field boundaries. A stream flows approximately 28 metres to the north-northwest, which would have provided a reliable water source for the site’s medieval inhabitants.
