The site occupied a rectangular area measuring approximately 60 metres from northwest to southeast and 50 metres from northeast to southwest. Historical Ordnance Survey maps from the 25-inch series show it was defined by substantial earthen banks along its southeastern and southwestern sides, with a distinctive rounded corner at the southern point, whilst modern field boundaries marked its northwestern and northeastern edges.

The location was strategic, positioned where a narrow, dry valley extended to the southeast, providing natural drainage and defensive advantages typical of medieval moated sites. These structures, common throughout Ireland during the Anglo-Norman period, typically consisted of farmsteads or manor houses surrounded by water-filled ditches and earthen banks, serving both defensive and status purposes for their inhabitants.

Unfortunately, this piece of Kildare’s medieval heritage was destroyed between 1953 and 1955 when the land was levelled for agricultural purposes. Today, the site lies beneath tillage fields with no visible surface traces remaining of the banks or ditches that once defined this probable moated homestead. The only record of its existence comes from historical maps and the Sites and Monuments Record maintained by the National Monuments Service, compiled by researcher Gearóid Conroy in February 2013.
