Though time and weather have taken their toll on this earthwork, its basic structure remains clearly visible. The site measures 50 metres from north to south and 47 metres from east to west, enclosed by two concentric earthen and stone banks with a defensive ditch, or fosse, running between them. The inner bank, which varies in width from 5 to 7.1 metres, stands up to 1.5 metres high on its outer face and is now marked by a ring of trees. Traces of stone revetment can still be spotted on both banks, suggesting this was once a more substantial fortification.

The defensive ditch between the banks is best preserved along the northern and southern sides, where it measures between 2.8 and 3.4 metres wide. The eastern side has become overgrown over the centuries, whilst the western portion is barely distinguishable from the surrounding landscape. The outer bank, considerably smaller than its inner counterpart at 1.7 to 4.7 metres wide and only 0.2 to 0.3 metres high, has been colonised by hawthorn bushes. A 6-metre gap on the eastern side may mark the original entrance, providing access via a causeway across the defensive ditch.

Within the protected interior, archaeological features hint at the site’s former occupation. Against the inner bank at the southwestern and western corners, the remains of two adjoining walls outline what appears to be a rectangular structure measuring 19.8 by 13.5 metres; possibly the foundations of a dwelling or storage building. Additional earthworks in the northern section include a scarp-like feature that runs south from the inner bank for 8 metres, turns east for 7 metres, then continues south for another 17.5 metres, perhaps marking internal divisions or additional structures. This site was documented by the Galway Archaeological Survey at University College Galway and uploaded to public records on 3 December 2019.
