The remains consist of a rectangular area, originally measuring about 55 metres north to south and 30 metres east to west, defined by an earthen bank that still stands along the northern edge. This bank, roughly 26 metres long and 4.55 metres wide, rises about 60 to 65 centimetres above the surrounding ground level. Short sections of the bank also extend from the corners; 8 metres to the east and 18 metres to the west, though these have now been incorporated into the modern field boundaries.

A deeply cut ditch runs along the outside of the surviving bank, a remnant of the defensive moat that once surrounded this medieval site. According to historical records from Barry in 1977, the moat was originally 3 metres wide and 2.5 metres deep, with a stream flowing along the eastern section to keep it filled with water. This would have created a formidable barrier, typical of such fortified sites that dotted the Irish countryside during the medieval period.

Unfortunately, much of the monument was destroyed in 1959 during land reclamation works, when farmers sought to maximise their usable pasture. Today, the interior of the site has been completely incorporated into the surrounding field and serves as grazing land. Despite this destruction, the surviving earthworks offer a tangible connection to Ireland’s medieval past, when such moated sites served as fortified homesteads for Anglo-Norman settlers or prosperous Irish families.
