The site is defined by substantial earthworks; an earthen bank roughly 4.5 metres wide and standing up to 1.65 metres high on the external side forms the northwestern boundary, whilst scarps about 1.25 metres wide and 0.75 metres high mark the other three sides. Remnants of a fosse, or defensive ditch, can still be traced along the southwestern, northwestern and northeastern sides, with a basal width of 1.4 metres and depth of around 0.45 metres.

Three gaps punctuate the enclosure’s boundaries, possibly serving as original entrances. The largest, measuring 9 metres wide, sits off-centre on the southwestern side, whilst smaller openings of 5 metres and 3 metres can be found on the northeastern and southeastern sides respectively. The interior of the enclosure slopes steadily downwards towards the southeast, following the natural gradient of the hillside. Currently under tillage, the monument retains an unploughed margin of 5 to 8 metres around its perimeter, helping to preserve its archaeological features.

This site forms part of a broader archaeological landscape; approximately 20 metres to the east lies what may be another moated site, whilst field systems dating from the same period extend immediately to the south and southwest. These neighbouring features suggest this was once part of a larger medieval settlement complex, typical of the Anglo-Norman colonisation period when such defensive enclosures were commonly constructed across the Irish countryside.
