The rectangular grass-covered area measures approximately 39 metres from east-northeast to west-southwest and 33 metres from north-northwest to south-southeast. Though the grass has been churned up by grazing animals, the site’s defining earthen banks remain clearly visible, ranging from 5.3 to 6 metres in width. These banks vary considerably in height; the interior height ranges from just 0.55 metres on the western side to 1.6 metres at the northern end, whilst the exterior heights measure around 1.1 metres.

The enclosing banks have weathered differently around the site’s perimeter. At the west-southwest and north-northwest corners, bushes have taken root amongst the earthworks. The eastern and southern boundaries have been reduced to simple scarps, measuring 0.8 metres and 1.45 metres high respectively. Curiously, there’s no visible surface evidence of any enclosing element at the northeast angle, suggesting either erosion or that this corner was constructed differently from the rest of the site.

One of the most distinctive features is the outer moat, though it only partially survives along the eastern end of the northwest side. This flat-bottomed defensive ditch measures 6.7 metres wide at the top, narrowing to 4.5 metres at its base, with a depth of 1.1 metres. Such moated sites were typically constructed by Anglo-Norman settlers or Gaelicised Norman families during the 13th and 14th centuries, serving as fortified farmsteads or minor manor houses in the Irish countryside.
