This roughly rectangular earthwork measures approximately 40 metres from east-northeast to west-southwest and 30 metres from north-northwest to south-southeast. The site is defined by an earthen bank, standing about 20 to 25 centimetres high on its exterior face, with a width of two to three metres. Surrounding this bank runs a broad, flat-bottomed ditch that varies between 4.2 and 6 metres in total width, though it’s relatively shallow at just 20 to 25 centimetres deep.

The moated enclosure shows some interesting irregularities that hint at its complex history. The north-northwest side bows outward slightly, whilst the entire south-southeast side lacks both bank and ditch entirely; here, a modern field boundary marks the edge of the historic site. At the west-southwest corner, traces of what appears to be a broad channel extend southward for about 15 metres, though its original purpose remains unclear. The channel shares similar dimensions to the main ditch, with a base width of 2 metres and total width between 4.2 and 6 metres, but sits even shallower at just 10 centimetres deep.

Today, the interior of the moated site remains level and free from overgrowth, making it relatively easy to appreciate the earthwork’s form. Whilst the original entrance can no longer be identified, the site’s proximity to a bowl barrow just 60 metres to the northwest suggests this area has been significant to local communities for millennia. These moated sites, typically dating from the 13th to 14th centuries, were often associated with prosperous farming families who used the surrounding ditches for drainage, defence, and as a clear statement of their social standing in medieval Irish society.
