The site features two moated enclosures connected by an ancient trackway, with the most prominent being a slightly raised rectangular platform measuring roughly 22 by 23 metres. This platform is surrounded by a low earthen bank, though centuries of weathering have left it barely visible on the northeastern side, making it quite challenging to trace at ground level.

The moated site sits directly adjacent to the fosse, or defensive ditch, that defines the hollow-way running through the complex. This ancient routeway stretches for about 44 metres, with the moated enclosure extending along approximately half its visible length on the northeastern side. These moated sites, common throughout medieval Ireland, typically served as fortified homesteads for Anglo-Norman settlers or prosperous Gaelic families during the 13th to 15th centuries. The defensive water-filled ditches that once surrounded these platforms would have protected timber-framed halls or stone tower houses, though no structural remains are visible today.

The earthworks now rest peacefully in their pastoral setting, their dry interiors free from overgrowth and accessible to visitors willing to traverse the rough pasture. While the original entrance to the moated enclosure can no longer be identified, the surviving earthen scarps; measuring about 1.4 metres wide and 0.3 metres high where visible; continue to mark out the boundaries of what was once a bustling medieval settlement. These subtle features in the landscape serve as reminders of how Ireland’s countryside is layered with centuries of human habitation, each generation leaving its mark on the land.
