This medieval earthwork appears on the 1913 Ordnance Survey map as a roughly rectangular enclosure, though today a laneway cuts through its eastern edge. The monument consists of a raised platform measuring approximately 30.5 metres north to south and 28 metres east to west, enclosed by an earthen bank and what was once a water-filled ditch, or fosse.

The defensive bank remains particularly steep on its outer face, though centuries of weathering have reduced much of it to a simple scarp, especially along the eastern side where the modern lane has disrupted the original structure. A trench runs along the southern, western and northern sides, likely following the line of the original fosse, though it may have been recut at some point in the site’s history. Each corner shows signs of disturbance, with an additional gap visible in the northern side; the original entrance point can no longer be identified with certainty.

Inside the enclosure, the ground slopes gently eastward and bears the marks of historical cultivation in the form of ridges running east to west, suggesting the site was used for agriculture after its defensive purpose had passed. Today, the monument appears on aerial photography as a tree-lined, subrectangular earthwork, its outline still clearly visible despite the passage of time. These moated sites, typically dating from the 13th to 14th centuries, were often associated with Anglo-Norman settlement and served as fortified farmsteads for colonists establishing themselves in the Irish countryside.
