This almost square enclosure, measuring roughly 19 metres east to west and 18 metres north to south, is now largely obscured by nature’s reclamation; decaying branches and thick undergrowth have transformed what was once a defensive structure into a barely discernible earthwork.

The site’s original boundaries can still be traced through careful observation. On the southern side, fragments of an earthen bank survive, standing just 15 centimetres high and about a metre wide, accompanied by an external ditch approximately 1.5 metres wide and 20 centimetres deep, through which a small stream now flows. The western boundary is better preserved, with a partially eroded earthen bank that reaches up to 1.5 metres in width; it rises a metre on the interior side whilst the exterior stands at half that height. This too has traces of an external ditch, similar in dimensions to its southern counterpart.

The northern edge retains only the heavily eroded and overgrown remains of an earthen bank, barely 10 centimetres high and about 1.3 metres wide. Due to the dense vegetation, archaeologists haven’t been able to determine whether any enclosing elements survive on the eastern side. These moated sites, typically dating from the 13th to 15th centuries, served as fortified homesteads for Anglo-Norman settlers and wealthy Irish families, combining defensive features with agricultural management in medieval Ireland.
