This rectangular earthwork measures approximately 29 metres north to south and 45 metres east to west, defined by substantial earthen banks that still stand after centuries of weathering. The surviving banks are particularly well-preserved along the southern and western sides, where they reach widths of nearly 6 metres and rise to over 2 metres in external height. The northern side has been levelled over time, though traces of a scarp about half a metre high can still be detected along this edge and the northern half of the eastern side.

What makes this site particularly interesting is the evidence of a possible external fosse, or defensive ditch, that once surrounded the earthwork. This ditch measures about 3.5 metres wide at its base, expanding to 8.65 metres at the top, with a depth of just under a metre. Such moated sites were typically constructed by Anglo-Norman settlers or wealthy Irish families between the 13th and 15th centuries, serving as fortified farmsteads or manor houses. The combination of raised earthen banks and surrounding ditch would have provided both defensive capabilities and drainage in what was likely a much wetter landscape during the medieval period.

Today, the monument is partially enclosed by modern field boundaries to the south and west, whilst an old road, catalogued as TS069-001, runs about 180 metres to the east. The site offers a tangible connection to medieval rural life in Tipperary, when such moated settlements dotted the Irish countryside, serving as centres of agricultural production and local administration. Though the structures that once stood within these earthen ramparts have long since vanished, the impressive earthworks continue to mark this spot as a place of former importance in the medieval landscape.
