The site consists of a large, slightly raised rectangular platform measuring 41 metres north to south and 33 metres east to west, surrounded by the remains of an earthen bank and water-filled ditch system typical of Anglo-Norman defensive settlements. Whilst the bank has been reduced over time to little more than a scarp in places, standing just 10 to 20 centimetres high on the interior side, it still rises up to 70 centimetres on the exterior, with remnants of its original base width of 4 metres still visible.

The outer fosse, or defensive ditch, which would have been permanently waterlogged to deter attackers, is best preserved along the eastern side where it maintains depths of around 40 centimetres and widths between 4 and 7 metres. Evidence suggests there was likely a causewayed entrance on the southern side, with a 5-metre gap in the defences, whilst a narrower 3-metre gap to the north appears to be a later addition. The interior of the moated area follows the natural slope of the hillside, descending from west to east, and would have provided a substantial defended space for a medieval homestead and its associated buildings.

Today, the site shows signs of agricultural reclamation, with much of the fosse filled in except for the eastern section, and a modern field boundary cutting through the southern portion of the ditch. Located just 117 metres northeast of another possible enclosure, this moated site forms part of a broader medieval landscape that speaks to the Norman colonisation and fortification of the Irish countryside during the 12th and 13th centuries.
