The site occupies roughly 35 metres from northeast to southwest and 30 metres from northwest to southeast, sitting on gently sloping ground that descends towards the northeast. What makes this location particularly intriguing is its remarkably preserved earthwork defences; substantial earthen banks, measuring 4 to 5 metres wide, still stand between 0.9 and 1.5 metres high on the interior side, whilst reaching an impressive 2.6 to 3.2 metres on the exterior.

The defensive nature of this site becomes even clearer when you examine the flat-bottomed moats that run around the outside of the banks. These water-filled ditches, spanning 6.8 to 7 metres across at the top and plunging between 0.5 and 1.6 metres below the exterior ground level, would have provided formidable protection for whoever occupied this site during medieval times. A narrow entrance, just one metre wide, cuts through the northeastern bank, marking the original access point to this fortified enclosure.

Today, nature has largely reclaimed the site, with vegetation obscuring much of the earthworks, though a modern spoil bank now sits outside the northwestern perimeter. First documented by Barry in 1977 and later included in the Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford in 1996, this moated site represents one of many similar defensive structures scattered across the Irish countryside, each telling its own story of medieval life, conflict, and the need for security in uncertain times.
