This moated site appears as a raised platform, measuring approximately 35 metres northwest to southeast and 42 metres northeast to southwest, defined by a prominent scarp that sets it apart from the surrounding landscape. The monument is partially enclosed by a tree-covered bank that runs along its northeastern, eastern, southern, and western edges, creating a distinctive boundary that’s still clearly visible on modern satellite imagery.

The site first appeared on official records in the 1840 Ordnance Survey map, where it was documented as a rectangular platform. At that time, the Ordnance Survey noted it was one of three forts within the townland, suggesting this area once held considerable defensive or strategic importance. By the time of the 1897 survey, cartographers had refined their measurements and continued to depict it as a raised rectangular area with well-defined scarps, indicating the monument’s remarkable preservation through the Victorian era.

Today, the site remains visible on aerial photographs and satellite images, including those captured between 2011 and 2013. While the centuries have softened some of its edges and trees have colonised parts of the defensive bank, the essential form of this medieval or possibly earlier fortification endures. Such moated sites typically date from the Anglo-Norman period and served as defended homesteads for local lords or prosperous farmers, combining residential, agricultural, and defensive functions in one carefully planned enclosure.
