The rectangular earthwork measures roughly 56 metres from north-northwest to south-southeast and 46 metres from east-northeast to west-southwest. What remains today are the levelled banks that once formed the defensive perimeter; the eastern bank, though worn down over centuries, still reaches nearly a metre in height on its outer edge, whilst the southern bank survives as a more modest earthen rise barely a quarter of a metre high.

The site’s western boundary is now marked only by a faint linear depression in the ground, whilst the northern edge follows an intermittent hedgerow that serves as a modern field boundary. Intriguingly, a land drain runs along the exterior of this northern side, possibly following the course of what was once the moat itself, recut for agricultural drainage. The interior of the site maintains its original slope, gently falling away towards the east-northeast, suggesting the medieval builders worked with rather than against the natural topography.

Historical maps hint at a more extensive complex; the Ordnance Survey six-inch maps show a linear earthwork extending from the southwest corner, which may have formed part of an adjoining moated site, though this feature is no longer easily traced on the ground. Current mapping shows a field boundary that appears to respect the western edge of the original site, a subtle reminder of how medieval landscapes continue to shape modern field patterns. These moated sites, typically dating from the 13th to 15th centuries, served as fortified homesteads for Anglo-Norman settlers and wealthy Irish families, combining defence with status display in the turbulent medieval countryside.
