The site forms a raised rectangular platform, measuring approximately 33 metres from northwest to southeast and 28 metres from northeast to southwest. Along its northeastern, eastern and southeastern edges, a low earthen and stone bank survives, about 4 metres wide though standing only 20 centimetres high. The remaining sides are marked by a more pronounced scarp that drops between 60 and 80 centimetres to the surrounding field level.

What makes this site particularly interesting is its substantial defensive fosse, or water-filled ditch, that once encircled the entire platform. Still visible today, this impressive feature measures 4 metres across and would have been a metre deep when first dug, though centuries of gradual infilling have reduced its depth along the northeastern to southeastern sections. Such moated sites were typically constructed between the 13th and 14th centuries, often by Anglo-Norman settlers or prosperous Irish families who adopted this defensive architectural style.

Archaeological surveys suggest the northern corner of the interior once held a dwelling house, though little remains visible above ground today. These moated farmsteads served multiple purposes; the water-filled ditches provided defence against cattle raids and local conflicts whilst also draining the surrounding land for agriculture. The site was documented by Patrick F. O’Donovan and added to the archaeological record in May 2012, ensuring this glimpse into medieval Irish rural life remains preserved for future generations to discover and study.
