This rectangular earthwork platform, measuring 21 metres from northeast to southwest and 15 metres from northwest to southeast, sits atop a natural rise in the landscape. Though it only appears as a circular feature on the 1912 Ordnance Survey map, today the grass-covered platform is dotted with mature deciduous trees that have taken root over the centuries.

The site’s most striking feature is its system of wide, flat-bottomed ditches, or fosses, that once served as moats protecting the platform. These defensive ditches, partly carved from the bedrock itself, are particularly well-preserved on the northeastern side, where they reach about 6 metres wide at the top and narrow to 4 metres at the base, with an internal depth of 1.3 metres and an external depth of 2 metres. Low, broad earthen banks originally reinforced the outer edges of these moats on the northeast and southeast sides, though time has been less kind to the northwestern defences, and the southwestern section appears to have been cut through entirely when a field wall was built running northwest to southeast.

A single entrance breaks through the southeastern outer bank, where a causeway crosses the fosse, providing access to the platform. This would have been the main entry point to whatever structure once stood here; likely a fortified farmhouse or small manor house typical of Anglo-Norman settlement patterns in medieval Meath. While the exact date of construction remains uncertain, such moated sites typically date from the 13th to 15th centuries, when local lords needed defendable homesteads that could withstand raids whilst managing their agricultural estates.
