This raised oval platform measures approximately 34 metres north to south and 40 metres east to west, surrounded by an impressive earthen bank that stands 2.25 metres high with a width of about 6.3 metres. The defensive structure shows signs of its age, with what appears to be the remnants of an original entrance on the southern side, where a subtle depression breaks the otherwise continuous scarp.

The interior of the ringwork presents a relatively level surface that gently slopes southward, following the natural incline of the land. Time and agricultural use have left their mark; cattle have churned up portions of the ground, and a modern round feeder sits rather incongruously in the centre of this medieval monument. A solitary hawthorn tree grows within the enclosure, whilst a large limestone boulder emerges from the earth at the base of the western bank, perhaps a remnant of stone fortifications or simply geological happenstance.

This defensive earthwork didn’t stand alone in the medieval landscape. About 250 metres to the southwest, the remains of a tower house can still be found, whilst a medieval church lies roughly 700 metres to the north. Together, these structures paint a picture of a well established medieval settlement, with the ringwork likely serving as an early Norman fortification that predated the later stone castle buildings in the area.
