The site appears as a raised rectangular platform measuring roughly 48 metres from northeast to southwest and 42 metres from northwest to southeast, surrounded by what would have once been formidable defensive features. A scarp between 0.6 and 0.8 metres high defines the edges of this platform, with a partially filled fosse, or defensive ditch, still visible around it. This ditch measures about 3.5 metres wide and reaches depths of up to 0.8 metres in places.

The original defensive layout included an outer bank that would have added another layer of protection to the site. Traces of this earthwork can still be seen on the northwest side, where it stands about 0.4 metres high and spans 4 metres in width. At the southwest corner, this ancient bank has been cleverly incorporated into the modern townland boundary, ensuring its preservation whilst the rest has been levelled over the centuries. Perhaps the most intriguing feature is a partially collapsed bastion at the western corner; this defensive structure measures 4.5 metres by 3 metres and rises 0.6 metres high, with evidence of stone wall-facing still visible on its southeast side.

While the original entrance to this fortified site is no longer recognisable, the surviving earthworks paint a picture of a once-important defensive position in medieval Longford. These moated sites were typically built between the 13th and 14th centuries by Anglo-Norman settlers or wealthy Irish families, serving as fortified homesteads that combined residential and defensive functions. The careful documentation of this site by Patrick F. O’Donovan in May 2012 ensures that even as the physical remains continue to weather and erode, their historical significance remains preserved for future generations to study and appreciate.
