The site consists of a raised square platform measuring 36 metres east to west and 35 metres north to south, covered in grass and ferns. This elevated area is defined by substantial earthen banks, between 3 and 5 metres wide, that rise up to a metre above the interior ground level. The corners of these banks curve upwards, creating a distinctive architectural feature that would have added both strength and visual impact to the structure.

Surrounding this raised platform is a defensive moat that would have provided crucial protection for whoever occupied the site. The moat spans 4 to 5 metres across at its top edge and drops between 1 and 1.5 metres below the interior level, creating a formidable barrier against unwanted visitors. Interestingly, the moat appears to be absent on the southern side, suggesting this may have served as the main entrance to the enclosure. Such strategic positioning would have allowed defenders to concentrate their efforts whilst maintaining controlled access.

The site doesn’t exist in isolation; approximately 90 metres to the east lies a rath, another type of early medieval fortification, indicating this area held strategic importance for centuries. First documented by Barry in 1977 and later included in the Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford published in 1996, this moated site represents the kind of defensive earthwork that once dotted the Irish landscape during the Anglo-Norman period. These structures served as fortified homesteads for wealthy families, combining residential functions with defensive capabilities in an era when protection was paramount.
