The site sits before the land drops sharply towards the valley floor, where the Dinin river flows roughly 400 metres to the east. From this vantage point, visitors would have enjoyed sweeping views across the eastern and southern countryside, though rising ground blocks the outlook to the north and west. Two natural springs bubble up immediately south of where the moated enclosure once stood, likely providing a reliable water source that made this spot attractive for medieval settlement.

Historical maps reveal what time and agriculture have obscured. The first Ordnance Survey six-inch map from 1839 clearly marks a rectangular enclosure here, measuring approximately 30 metres from north-northwest to south-southeast and about 15 metres from east to west. By the time surveyors returned in 1947, the monument had vanished from their records; the field boundaries had been reconfigured, with an old boundary immediately north of the site removed and a new one running west-northwest to east-southeast installed slightly to the south, potentially cutting through the northern portion of the original monument.

Today, nothing remains visible at ground level. The site appears to have been levelled during these mid-20th century agricultural improvements, joining countless other medieval earthworks that have disappeared beneath Ireland’s evolving farmland. What was once a defensive moated settlement, perhaps home to a minor lord or prosperous farmer in medieval times, now exists only in old maps and archaeological records, compiled most recently by researcher Jean Farrelly in December 2018.
