This rectangular enclosure sits at the southern edge of a low plateau, with the Bora River flowing about 180 metres to the south. First documented on the 1839 Ordnance Survey map, the site originally measured approximately 70 metres northwest to southeast and 60 metres northeast to southwest, though a modern road has since cut straight through it, dividing what was once a complete defensive structure.

The moated enclosure was created by digging a flat-bottomed fosse, essentially a defensive ditch, around a central area. When surveyed in the 1940s, this ditch measured about 2.7 metres wide and between one to 1.5 metres deep, with an outer bank rising about half a metre high on at least the northwestern side. The protected interior space measured roughly 34 metres northeast to southwest, providing a secure area that would have held buildings and activity spaces for its medieval inhabitants.

Today, the portion northwest of the road has been completely removed, but visitors can still make out traces of the original moats on the southeastern side. These surviving depressions, though now only about 30 centimetres deep and 12 metres wide, mark out an interior space measuring approximately 33 by 12 metres. While much diminished from its original form, the site remains an important piece of Wexford’s archaeological landscape, documented in Barry’s 1977 survey and included in the county’s official Archaeological Inventory published in 1996.
