This ringwork castle measures approximately 24 metres north to south and 23 metres east to west, defined by a substantial scarp that rises between 0.75 and 1.65 metres high. The defensive fosse, or ditch, that once encircled the structure remains visible on the western and eastern sides, though centuries of weathering have left it barely traceable along the northern and eastern sections. Livestock have taken their toll on the monument’s northwestern and southeastern edges, where erosion has softened the once-sharp defensive features.

The interior of the ringwork slopes gently southward in a dish shape, with a curious D-shaped stone standing prominently in the northeast quadrant; this substantial boulder measures 1.5 metres across and rises 0.7 metres from the ground. A possible entrance, roughly 2.7 metres wide, can be detected on the north-northwest side. The monument’s significance to the local community is evident in how the landscape has been modified to preserve it: a field boundary to the west-southwest and a portion of adjacent woodland have been deliberately removed to protect the site, whilst a pathway now runs along its southern edge.

The immediate surroundings tell their own story of continuity and change. A modern dwelling has been built right up to the southeast edge of the monument, demonstrating how contemporary life continues to unfold around these ancient structures. According to local tradition, a well known as ‘Lady’s Well’ can be found in the northern part of the same field, suggesting this area has long held special significance for the community. This combination of medieval fortification and holy well hints at layers of history and folklore that have accumulated over centuries in this corner of South Tipperary.
