This moated site at Lisgordan takes the form of a roughly square raised platform, measuring about 31 metres north to south and 30 metres east to west, with gently rounded corners. The entire area is enclosed by an earthen bank with traces of an external ditch, or fosse, visible along its southwestern edge. Despite being heavily overgrown, the bank remains clearly visible all around the perimeter, standing at its most impressive on the northern side where it reaches 0.9 metres high on the exterior and 0.45 metres on the interior.

The site shows signs of both ancient construction and more recent agricultural use. A break in the bank on the west-northwest side, measuring 1.4 metres wide, likely served as the original entrance. Field boundaries from the surrounding farmland connect to the bank at several points; to the north, northeast and south-southeast, whilst a farm track runs along the southern base of the earthwork. A corrugated iron shed has been built against the external face of the bank on the east-southeast side, showing how the site has been incorporated into the working landscape over time.

Within the enclosed interior, which is currently used as pasture, the eastern half slopes gently downward. An intriguing upright stone stands in the southern portion of the interior, measuring half a metre tall and aligned east to west, narrowing slightly towards its top. The site was catalogued as a moated site by historian Barry in 1981, though its exact purpose and date remain unclear. These types of earthworks are typically medieval in origin, often associated with Anglo-Norman settlement patterns in Ireland, serving as defended farmsteads or manor sites.
