This defensive earthwork consists of a roughly rectangular enclosure measuring approximately 24 metres north to south and 25 metres east to west. The site is defined by an earthen bank, or scarp, that rises between 1.4 and 2.75 metres in height, with its width varying from 2.85 to 4.2 metres. Surrounding this raised platform is an external ditch, or fosse, which ranges from 5.85 to 9.25 metres wide and reaches depths of up to 1.6 metres in places.

The defensive features are best preserved on the southern, western, and northern sides of the site, whilst the eastern side shows more wear, with both the scarp and fosse being noticeably lower and shallower here. An entrance on the east-southeast side, measuring about 6 metres wide, appears to have been modified and widened over time, possibly to accommodate later agricultural use. Two ponds, each roughly 10 metres across, have formed at the southeastern and southwestern corners of the fosse, collecting water in the ancient defensive ditch.

The interior of the ringwork slopes gently eastward and bears the marks of later agricultural activity, with cultivation furrows running east-southeast to west-northwest across the enclosed area. These ridges and furrows indicate that after its military significance waned, the site was repurposed for farming, a common fate for many of Ireland’s medieval fortifications. A large hole in the southern section, measuring about 1.5 by 1.2 metres, is thought to be a collapsed animal burrow rather than an archaeological feature, reminding visitors that these ancient sites continue to be shaped by both human activity and nature.
