The site consists of a nearly square enclosure, measuring roughly 36 metres by 35 metres, surrounded by a substantial earthen bank that rises up to 1.5 metres high on its outer face. This defensive bank, which varies between 2 and 3.5 metres wide at its base, is encircled by a waterlogged fosse or ditch that reaches depths of 1.2 metres and spans up to 5 metres across at its widest point.

The enclosure shows clear signs of its agricultural afterlife, with a 4-metre-wide cattle gap breaching the centre of the southwestern bank, where years of livestock movement has caused noticeable damage to the external face. Another gap, possibly an original entrance, appears at the centre of the northeastern bank, though this 5-metre opening remains waterlogged. Within the western corner of the interior, traces of what might be an earlier structure survive as a low earthen bank defining a smaller rectangular area of about 17 by 13 metres; this could represent the remains of a medieval dwelling, though it may equally be a later agricultural feature.

The site’s preservation is remarkably good despite centuries of exposure to the elements and grazing animals. Its proximity to another moated site just 115 metres to the southeast suggests this area held particular significance during the medieval period, when such defensive homesteads were built by Anglo-Norman settlers and wealthy Irish families alike. These moated sites, typically dating from the 13th to 15th centuries, served as fortified farmsteads in areas where stone castles were either impractical or beyond the means of their builders.
