The site consists of a raised rectangular platform measuring 37 metres north to south and 30 metres east to west, surrounded by an impressive double bank and ditch system. The inner bank, which varies in height from 0.4 metres on the interior to 1.6 metres on the exterior southern side, encircles the raised area, whilst a water-filled fosse, or defensive ditch, runs around its outer foot at a width of 4.6 metres.

Beyond the fosse lies a substantial outer bank that would have provided an additional line of defence. This outer earthwork varies considerably in width, from 4.3 metres on the northern side to 7.2 metres on the south, with heights ranging between 0.7 and 1.6 metres. The defensive perimeter shows signs of modification over the centuries; the outer bank has been largely levelled at the northeast and eastern sides, with breaks visible at the northwest and southeast corners. The main entrance to the site can be found on the western side, where a 3-metre gap in the inner bank aligns with a low causeway crossing the fosse and remnants of a corresponding break in the outer bank.

Within the protected interior, archaeological evidence suggests the presence of a dwelling house built against the inner face of the southwestern bank. This structure appears as a low rectangular platform measuring approximately 16 metres east to west and 6 metres north to south, defined on its northern and eastern sides by a low bank standing 0.2 metres high on the interior and 0.4 metres on the exterior. Such moated sites were typically constructed between the 13th and 14th centuries by Anglo-Norman settlers or wealthy Gaelic families, serving both as defended farmsteads and symbols of status in medieval Irish society.
