This modest earthwork takes the form of a small, roughly square enclosure measuring approximately 22 metres from northeast to southwest and 21.5 metres from northwest to southeast. Its defining feature is a low earthen bank with rounded corners that rises just half a metre on its exterior side and slightly less on the interior, creating a subtle but distinct boundary around the central space.

The site shows clear signs of disturbance over the centuries, particularly in its western corner where the bank has been levelled, and at the southwestern section where someone has piled earth and small boulders, disrupting the bank on either side. A 3-metre-wide gap breaks through the southern portion of the bank, possibly an original entrance or a later breach. Unlike many moated sites of this type, no evidence of an outer defensive ditch, or fosse, can be seen today, though one may have existed and been filled in over time.

Currently overgrown with scrub and nettles, the site presents challenges for detailed examination but remains an intriguing example of medieval settlement patterns in North Tipperary. These moated sites, typically dating from the 13th to 14th centuries, were often associated with Anglo-Norman colonisation and served as defended homesteads for minor lords or prosperous farmers. The proximity to marshy ground would have provided additional natural defence whilst potentially offering resources like wildfowl, fish, and reeds for thatching.
