Though now heavily obscured by deciduous trees at its edges and a thick tangle of nettles and brambles within, this monument still reveals its basic structure to those who look closely. The 1924 Ordnance Survey six-inch map shows it as a roughly square enclosure measuring about 40 metres on each side, complete with a defensive bank and an external ditch, or fosse.

The earthwork survives as a rectangular area surrounded by an earthen bank that rises about two metres on its outer face, with the southern and eastern sections being particularly well-preserved. The bank itself is just over two metres wide and rises only 20 centimetres above the interior ground level. Two possible entrances break through this defensive barrier: a two-metre-wide gap in the northwestern corner and what appears to be a seven-and-a-half-metre-wide entrance causeway on the northern side. The external fosse, measuring roughly two metres wide though now quite shallow at just 10 centimetres deep, can still be traced along the northern, eastern, and southern sides of the enclosure.

The interior of the monument slopes gently down towards the northeast and is scattered with loose stones, suggesting possible structural remains or collapse from former buildings. While the dense vegetation makes detailed examination challenging, the earthwork’s substantial banks and clear defensive features point to its historical importance as a fortified settlement or enclosure. This information was compiled by Denis Power and uploaded to archaeological records on 28 March 2013, preserving knowledge of this hidden piece of Limerick’s past.
