The site consists of a raised circular platform measuring 24.5 metres across from east to west, enclosed by an earthen and stone bank that’s approximately 2 metres wide. While time and weather have reduced much of the structure to a scarp, the bank still rises between 2 and 2.5 metres on its outer face, though only about 20 centimetres on the interior side. A possible causewayed entrance, roughly 3.2 metres wide, can be seen on the eastern side of the enclosure.

The ringwork shows clear evidence of sophisticated construction techniques, particularly around the eastern entrance where stone facing that once covered the external bank is still visible. Wall footings can be spotted protruding from the top of the bank in this area, suggesting the site once featured more substantial defensive structures. Its strategic position would have allowed its medieval occupants to monitor both the nearby church and castle to the east, forming part of a wider network of defensive and administrative sites in the region.

Later centuries brought significant changes to the site; a nineteenth century limekiln was built directly into the southern face of the scarp, and quarrying activities have removed part of the interior area. Despite these alterations, the ringwork remains an important example of Norman defensive earthworks in Ireland, likely dating from the period following the Anglo-Norman invasion when such fortifications were rapidly constructed to secure newly conquered territories.
