The rectangular earthwork overlooks the River Finn, which flows about 70 metres to the west, with a tributary joining the main stream roughly 300 metres to the south. The site measures approximately 45.6 metres from northeast to southwest, widening from 27.4 metres at the southwest end to 35.4 metres at the northeast, and the entire area slopes gently towards the southeast.

The defensive features of this grass-covered site remain remarkably visible, consisting of broad earthen banks with accompanying fosses, or ditches, running along each side. These inner banks measure 3.5 to 4 metres across the top, with internal ditches reaching depths of 2 to 2.4 metres and external ditches of 1 to 1.5 metres. At the northeast corner, you can still make out the original entrance; a gap through both the inner and outer banks, each about 3.7 to 4 metres wide at the base, with a raised causeway crossing the fosse. The southeastern defences haven’t fared as well over time, having been levelled into their accompanying ditch.

At the centre of the enclosure lies a broad, grass-covered hollow about 14 metres in diameter, likely the remains of an old quarry. Moated sites like this one were typically constructed during the Anglo-Norman period as fortified farmsteads, serving both defensive and agricultural purposes. The substantial earthworks and strategic position overlooking the river valley suggest this was once an important local stronghold, though today it stands as a peaceful reminder of Ireland’s turbulent medieval past.
