This raised trapezoidal earthwork, measuring roughly 30 metres from north to south and tapering from 22.5 metres to 19 metres in width, sits in a natural hollow bordered by rising ground to the east and southwest. The site appears on the 1837 Ordnance Survey map but had vanished from the records by the 1913 edition, suggesting it may have already fallen into disuse by the early 20th century.

The enclosure is defined by a substantial earthen bank, typically 5 to 6 metres wide with a flattened top about a metre across. The eastern side presents an interesting feature; here, the bank cuts directly across the base of the hillslope, creating a steeper internal face and lower external profile than elsewhere around the perimeter. The external slopes show considerable slumping, dropping between 1 and 1.6 metres, whilst the internal faces are more modest at 0.4 to 0.7 metres high. Particularly noteworthy is the southwestern corner, where the bank appears more substantial and projects outward approximately 6.5 metres further than the other corners, possibly indicating additional defensive measures or a watchtower position.

The interior space reveals further complexity, being divided almost centrally by a low earthen bank running west-northwest to east-southeast. This internal division, standing about half a metre high and 3 metres wide, creates two distinct areas, with the southern section sitting at a slightly lower level. What appears to be the original entrance can be identified as a 3-metre-wide depression in the centre of the northeastern bank. Such moated sites, typically dating from the 13th to 15th centuries, were often constructed by Anglo-Norman settlers or wealthy Gaelic families as fortified farmsteads, combining residential, agricultural and defensive functions in Ireland’s contested medieval landscape.
