This square enclosure measures 38 metres from north to south and 37.6 metres from east to west, defined by substantial earthen banks that rise to a maximum internal height of 1.2 metres. The northern side features stone facing, whilst the western boundary includes both an exterior fosse and a parallel field fence standing at one metre high.

Two entrances pierce the enclosure’s defences; a wider gap of five metres opens to the northeast, whilst a narrower passage of 2.6 metres provides access from the southwest. These openings would have once controlled movement in and out of the site, likely fitted with gates or other defensive structures during its active period. The presence of a fosse, essentially a defensive ditch, along with the substantial earthen banks suggests this was a fortified farmstead or minor manor house, typical of Anglo-Norman settlement patterns in medieval Ireland.

Today, vegetation has begun to reclaim parts of the structure, softening its edges and blurring the lines between the ancient earthworks and the surrounding landscape. Despite this natural encroachment, the site remains a remarkably well-preserved example of medieval defensive architecture, offering insights into how landowners once protected their holdings in the Irish countryside during a time when such fortifications were both practical necessities and symbols of status.
