This rectangular enclosure, which once measured approximately 40 metres northwest to southeast and 50 metres southwest to northeast, sits on a gentle slope facing east-southeast, surrounded by higher ground that forms a natural bowl around the monument. Though time and agriculture have taken their toll on this historic site, careful observation reveals traces of its former defensive earthworks.

The site appears on the 1923 Ordnance Survey six-inch map as an embanked enclosure, though much of its original structure has since been levelled. The eastern side was truncated at some point when a field boundary was established, cutting through the ancient earthwork. Today, the most visible evidence of the monument’s past is a slight scarped edge along the southwestern side, rising just 30 centimetres high and stretching for about 47.5 metres with a width of 4 metres. This subtle ridge is all that remains of what would have been a more substantial defensive bank, possibly topped with a wooden palisade during its active use.

Moated sites like this one were typically constructed between the 13th and 14th centuries, serving as fortified homesteads for Anglo-Norman settlers or prosperous Irish families. The moat, now filled in and barely perceptible, would have been water-filled or at least seasonally wet, providing both defence and drainage for the central platform where a timber hall or stone building once stood. Though the Lisduane site now blends almost seamlessly into the surrounding farmland, it represents an important piece of medieval Irish history; a reminder of how our ancestors shaped the landscape for protection and prestige during turbulent times.
