The circular earthwork, measuring nearly 39 metres across from northeast to southwest, consists of a substantial bank topped with deciduous trees and surrounded by an external ditch, or fosse. Field boundaries meet the monument at various angles, running up to its northern, southern and western corners in a pattern that suggests centuries of agricultural activity around this historic site.

The bank itself varies in width from about 4 to 5 metres and stands between 1.1 and 1.5 metres high on its outer face, though the northeastern section has been reduced to little more than a scarp with a gap where cattle pass through. The external fosse, roughly 2 metres wide and just over half a metre deep, would once have provided additional defence for whatever structure stood within. Today, the interior is largely inaccessible; dense brambles have taken over the space whilst waterlogging and damage from cattle hooves have left the ground badly churned. A small pond has formed at the northwest corner just outside the bank in the neighbouring field.

These moated sites, typically dating from the 13th to 14th centuries, were often home to Anglo-Norman settlers or prosperous farming families who built timber-framed houses within the protective earthworks. The truncation of the outer bank face by cattle and the overgrown state of the interior speak to centuries of abandonment, yet the earthwork remains clearly defined in the landscape, a reminder of medieval settlement patterns in this part of South Tipperary.
