The site measures approximately 21.2 metres east to west and 21.8 metres north to south, defined by an earthen bank that runs from the eastern side around to the northwest. This bank stands about 0.8 metres high on its interior side, whilst rising to 1.6 metres on the external face. A modern field fence completes the enclosure from the northwest back to the eastern side.

The southwestern section of the bank features a gap measuring 5.3 metres wide, likely serving as the original entrance to the enclosure. Here, faint traces of what may have been an external fosse, or defensive ditch, can still be detected in the landscape. Such moated sites were typically constructed during the Anglo-Norman period in Ireland, serving as fortified farmsteads or minor manor houses for settlers and local lords.

Located roughly 30 metres to the southwest stands a ringfort (archaeological reference 038-132), suggesting this area has seen continuous occupation and use across different historical periods. The proximity of these two monuments highlights the layered history of the Irish landscape, where medieval Anglo-Norman settlements were often established near or incorporated earlier Gaelic defensive structures. Today, these earthworks remain as subtle but significant reminders of Limerick’s complex medieval past.
