First spotted through aerial photography, this rectangular earthwork measures approximately 18 metres from northeast to southwest and 21 metres from northwest to southeast. The site consists of a slightly raised platform enclosed by a low earthen bank, which stands just 10 centimetres high on its exterior side and a mere 5 centimetres on the interior. The bank itself is about 4 metres wide overall, narrowing to 2 metres at its crest.

Running alongside the outer edge of the bank is a shallow fosse, or defensive ditch, that adds another 3 metres to the site’s overall width. Though only about 10 centimetres deep now, this ditch would have been considerably deeper when the site was in use during medieval times. The earthwork is best preserved along the northeast and southeast sides, whilst the northwest side shows only faint traces of the original structure. The southwest boundary has been incorporated into a modern field division, making it difficult to determine the original layout of that section.

The interior of the moated site slopes gently towards the southeast and remains clear of vegetation, though the original entrance point can no longer be identified. These types of moated sites were typically built between the 13th and 14th centuries, often serving as defended homesteads for Anglo-Norman settlers or prosperous farming families. The modest scale and simple rectangular plan of this example suggests it was likely a farmstead rather than a grander manor house, providing its inhabitants with a degree of security and status in the medieval Tipperary landscape.
