Located on a low spur running east to west, the site was strategically positioned with a stream curving around it, flowing roughly 50 metres to the north and 100 metres to the east. This natural water feature would have complemented the artificial defences that protected whoever lived here centuries ago.

When archaeologist Barry documented the site in 1977, it still retained clear evidence of its original structure: a flat platform surrounded by a wet moat that was 2 metres wide and 2 metres deep, with an external bank providing an additional layer of defence. These moated sites were typical of Anglo-Norman settlements in medieval Ireland, serving as fortified farmsteads for colonists who needed protection whilst establishing themselves in unfamiliar territory.

Unfortunately, the monument has suffered significant damage since the 1970s survey, with most of its distinctive features now removed. Today, visitors would find only subtle traces of its former glory; a slightly raised, grass-covered rectangular area measuring approximately 32 metres east to west and 24 metres north to south, defined by a gentle scarp. Despite its diminished state, the site remains an important part of Wexford’s archaeological record, documented in the county’s official Archaeological Inventory published in 1996 and subsequently updated by researcher Michael Moore in 2012.
