This rectangular earthwork measures roughly 27 metres north to south and 36 metres east to west, its boundaries marked by a weathered earthen bank that has seen better days. Built from gravelly clay studded with protruding stones, the bank still stands at about 1.5 metres high on its outer face, though time and the elements have worn it down considerably in places.

What remains today tells only part of the story. The defensive ditch, or fosse, that would have once surrounded the entire site has almost entirely vanished; only a shallow depression at the southwest corner hints at its former presence. The southeastern section has been cut through by a modern road, leaving just a low bank that doesn’t quite align with the eastern side. A narrow gap near the northwest corner, barely over a metre wide, may mark an original entrance, though centuries of use make this difficult to confirm.

The site faces ongoing challenges from nature reclaiming its territory. Thorn trees have taken root along the banks, their roots potentially disturbing the archaeological remains, whilst dense scrub has colonised the northeast quadrant. Despite these intrusions and the passage of time, the basic form of this medieval fortification remains readable in the landscape, offering a glimpse into how landowners once protected their holdings in medieval Tipperary.
