The site measures 43.5 metres east to west and 33 metres north to south, enclosed by various earthen features that would have once provided both practical and symbolic boundaries. The eastern side is defined by an earthen bank roughly 4.5 metres wide, whilst the western edge features a flat-bottomed moat, its base still visible at 5.5 metres across despite centuries of silting. The southern perimeter drops away with a one-metre scarp followed by a band of marshy ground, though the northern boundary has been absorbed into the modern field system, now marked by a hedge running along an east-west field boundary.

This moated site sits within a broader landscape of historical significance. A stream flows approximately 100 metres to the south, running west to east, whilst Lough Nahincha lies some 380 metres to the east. Just 200 metres to the northwest stands a church, catalogued as RO017-084001, suggesting this area held considerable importance during the medieval period. Moated sites like this one typically date from the 13th to 14th centuries and were often associated with Anglo-Norman settlement patterns, serving as fortified farmsteads for colonising families or as administrative centres for local estates.

Today, the grass-covered interior and weathered earthworks offer a tangible connection to Roscommon’s medieval past. The varying heights of the banks, ranging from 0.4 to 0.6 metres internally and externally, along with the preserved moat depression, demonstrate how these defensive features have survived despite centuries of agricultural activity. Such sites are valuable archaeological resources, providing insights into settlement patterns, land management, and the social hierarchies that shaped medieval Ireland.
