The site consists of a raised rectangular platform measuring approximately 35 metres east to west and 33 metres north to south, surrounded by what remains of its defensive earthworks. A low bank made of earth and stone, roughly 5.2 metres wide and 0.7 metres high, encloses the northern portion of the platform, though it’s notably absent from the southern half of the site.

The defensive features are most pronounced at the northwest corner, where a wide fosse, or defensive ditch, measuring 4.5 metres across runs along the external foot of the inner bank. This fosse is paired with an outer bank of similar width; standing about 0.6 metres high. These outer defences don’t continue around the entire perimeter, suggesting either an incomplete construction or selective fortification based on the site’s strategic needs. The original entrance to the enclosure is no longer identifiable, lost to centuries of weathering and human activity.

Time and agricultural use have taken their toll on the site’s southern and eastern sections, which have been substantially levelled over the years. Most dramatically, a large oblong quarry pit has been cut into the southwest quadrant, removing a significant portion of the original earthwork. Despite these alterations, the site remains an intriguing example of medieval defensive architecture in rural Ireland, its earthen banks and ditches offering a glimpse into how local communities once protected themselves and their property in the Irish countryside.
