The main feature is a sub-rectangular raised platform, roughly 41 metres long by 30 metres wide, surrounded by the remains of defensive earthworks. The platform sits slightly elevated from the surrounding wetland, defined by scarps of varying heights; about a metre high on the northern side, dropping to just 20 centimetres on the southeast, with an entrance gap of 8 to 10 metres wide on the eastern side.

The defensive features tell the story of a once-fortified homestead. Along the northern base runs a wet, flat-bottomed ditch, two metres wide and over half a metre deep, which continues around the northeast corner. While this fosse has vanished from the eastern and southeastern sides, traces remain along the south, where an overgrown ditch sits alongside a low counter-scarp bank. The western boundary presents an interesting puzzle; a north-south running field ditch with an earthen bank appears to have cut through the original site, and no archaeological remains are visible beyond this later field boundary.

When surveyed in 1998, the site was extremely overgrown, making detailed examination challenging. The surviving earthworks suggest this was once a moated site, a type of medieval settlement common in Ireland between the 13th and 14th centuries. These sites typically consisted of a raised platform surrounded by a water-filled ditch, providing both defence and drainage in marshy areas. The platform would have supported a timber hall or tower house, along with associated domestic buildings, creating a fortified farmstead for Anglo-Norman settlers or Gaelicised lords.
