The location appears to have been carefully chosen, positioned almost perfectly between two raths; one lies roughly 700 metres to the west-southwest, whilst another stands about 800 metres to the east-southeast. The site forms a large square enclosure measuring approximately 40 metres on each side, though centuries of weathering and agricultural use have taken their toll on its original features.

The eastern side still shows traces of an earthen bank, though it’s now poorly preserved, standing just 20 centimetres high on the interior but rising to 1.7 metres on the exterior, with a width of about 2.6 metres. Surrounding this is a broad outer fosse, or defensive ditch, that remains quite substantial at 4.9 to 5.6 metres wide and between one and 1.3 metres deep, with steep sides that would have made access difficult for any unwelcome visitors. Along the northern section, a large limestone block measuring 80 centimetres long helps support the outer face of the fosse, whilst several even larger blocks, some over a metre in length, have tumbled to the bottom of the ditch nearby; these may have originally formed part of an entrance to the site.

Today, the southern side of the fosse shows heavy damage from livestock trampling, whilst a later field bank runs along the western outer edge. The interior has been reclaimed by nature, with a thick growth of blackthorn, briar, holly and hazel, some showing signs of traditional coppicing. Despite its overgrown state, the site remains an intriguing example of medieval defensive architecture, offering a glimpse into how landowners once protected their holdings in this part of Kildare.
