This rectangular earthwork, measuring approximately 36 metres from northeast to southwest and 31 metres from northwest to southeast, represents one of two such sites in close proximity; its companion lies just 120 metres to the west. The location appears to have held spiritual significance as well, with what may be a holy well situated immediately to the west of the moat.

The site’s defensive features remain remarkably intact despite centuries of agricultural use. A broad fosse, or water-filled ditch, ranging from 8 to 10 metres wide and varying in depth from 0.6 metres on the southeastern side to 1.2 metres on the northwestern side, defines the perimeter. Stone revetment, still visible along the southern inner face, would have helped prevent the earthen banks from collapsing into the water. Beyond the fosse, traces of an outer bank composed of earth and stone survive, particularly at the western corner where it stands 2.5 metres wide and rises to 2.2 metres on the inner side, though only 0.4 metres on the outer face.

Time and farming have left their mark on the monument. A later field fence now runs along the outer edge of the fosse on the northeastern and southeastern sides, following a pattern that was already noted when the site was surveyed in 1972. The interior corners show slight raising, possibly indicating where buildings once stood within the protected enclosure. By 2005, aerial photography showed the entire site becoming overgrown, nature slowly reclaiming this piece of medieval Ireland’s defensive landscape.
