The site consists of three concentric rings: an inner earthen bank that once formed a complete circle, a defensive ditch approximately half a metre deep, and traces of an outer bank, though much of this outermost feature has been lost to time. The northwest section preserves the most impressive portion of the inner bank, where the earthworks still rise to heights of up to two metres, offering visitors a glimpse of the enclosure’s original imposing structure.

The location appears to have been carefully chosen, situated on fertile land with commanding views across the bay; an ideal spot for an early Christian settlement or secular ringfort. Archaeological surveys suggest this was once a thriving site, though centuries of erosion and agricultural activity have taken their toll on the earthworks. The circular design, typical of Irish ringforts from the early medieval period, would have provided both defensive capabilities and a clear demarcation of social or religious space.

Perhaps the most intriguing discovery from the site is a small stone cross slab, found on the northeast side of the enclosure and now preserved in Moville for safekeeping. Measuring 61 centimetres long and tapering from 15 to 8 centimetres wide, this carved stone features a wheeled Latin cross in relief on its wider end. Such cross slabs were common markers in early Christian Ireland, often indicating places of worship, burial sites, or boundaries of sacred ground. Its presence suggests the enclosure may have had religious significance, possibly serving as an early ecclesiastical site or containing a small church or oratory within its protective banks.
