Measuring approximately 65.6 metres from northeast to southwest and 55 metres from northwest to southeast, this defensive structure once protected a castle and a 17th-century house within its boundaries. The enclosure appears clearly on both historical maps and modern satellite imagery, though the buildings it once sheltered were already absent from Ordnance Survey maps by 1900.

The bawn's defensive earthworks consist of an inner bank, now largely reduced to a scarp standing less than a metre high, accompanied by a fosse (defensive ditch) about 3.5 metres wide and an outer bank that reaches just over 6 metres wide at its base. These features are best preserved along the western side, where the outer bank remains clearly visible. Along the northern and eastern edges, the earthworks appear to have been incorporated into later field boundaries, whilst the southern side shows considerable deterioration with both banks and fosse heavily eroded over time.

Within the enclosure, visitors can still find the ruins of the castle positioned near the western edge, with the remains of the 17th-century house situated about 30 metres to its southeast. First documented on the 1839 Ordnance Survey six-inch map, this site offers expansive views across the surrounding pastureland in all directions except southward, where the land rises upslope. The combination of castle, house and bawn suggests this was once a significant defensive and residential complex, typical of the fortified homesteads that dotted the Irish countryside during centuries of territorial uncertainty.
