This medieval moated site, measuring roughly 40 metres north to south and 61 metres east to west, consists of a raised central area protected by a double defensive system: an inner earthen bank, an outer earthen bank, and a water-filled ditch or fosse running between them. The inner bank, which once stood about 65 centimetres high, remains most visible along the northern edges, whilst elsewhere it’s defined by a sharp scarped edge rising 1.65 metres above the surrounding area.

The outer defences tell a story of centuries of agricultural adaptation. The outer bank, standing about a metre high on its inner side and half a metre on its exterior, is best preserved along the southeastern and southwestern sections. Along the western side, however, a later field wall has clipped away the original earthwork, running along what was once the base of the fosse. This same wall merges with the inner scarp at the northwest corner, creating a gap about 3.2 metres wide; likely an entrance point. The northern and eastern sides have seen the original outer bank replaced entirely by earth and stone field walls, with another gap at the northwest corner measuring 4.2 metres across.

Today, the interior serves as a small pasture field, with the southern half sitting slightly higher due to naturally outcropping limestone beneath. First documented by Barry in 1981 as site number 29 in his survey of moated sites, this earthwork represents one of many similar defensive farmsteads that dotted the Irish countryside during the Anglo-Norman period. These moated sites typically housed prosperous farming families who needed protection in what was often contested borderland between Gaelic and Anglo-Norman territories.
