The site occupies a roughly rectangular area measuring 22 metres north to south and 30 metres east to west, with characteristically rounded corners typical of such fortifications. What survives today is an earthen scarp standing about 1.25 metres high and 3.75 metres wide, which would have formed the inner edge of the original moat system. Along the western side and the western end of the northern side, a gentler bank remains; this earthwork reaches 6.8 metres in width and rises to 1.5 metres on its external face, though only 0.4 metres on the interior.

The defensive circuit isn’t complete anymore; there’s a 3-metre-wide breach on the west-southwest side where the bank has been broken through. The external fosse, or defensive ditch, that once surrounded the entire site can still be detected along parts of the perimeter, measuring 6.55 metres wide and about 0.55 metres deep where it survives. However, continuous ploughing has largely obliterated this feature from the east-southeast round to the southwest, incorporating it into the surrounding field system. The monument sits within a patchwork of old field boundaries; earthen banks and hedgerows enclose it to the north and east, whilst a line of trees marks the outer edge of what remains of the fosse from the southwest to northwest.

Archaeological records tell a story of gradual decline rather than dramatic destruction. Writing in 1982, researcher Cahill noted that the site had already been levelled, presumably through agricultural activity rather than any single destructive event. Today, the monument continues its quiet deterioration, with a pile of organic waste accumulated on the exterior at the east-southeast serving as a reminder of its current use as farmland rather than fortification. Despite its worn state, the site remains an evocative reminder of medieval settlement patterns in South Tipperary, when such moated sites served as defended farmsteads for Anglo-Norman colonists or prosperous Irish families.
