The site forms a distinctive wedge shape, stretching between 61 and 70 metres from north to south, and 49 metres from east to west. What makes this particular site intriguing is its well-preserved defensive features; earthen banks rising 5 to 6 metres wide and standing about 60 centimetres above the interior ground level, with external moats of similar width that drop approximately half a metre below the surrounding landscape.

The defensive perimeter remains largely intact, though nature has thoroughly reclaimed the space within. A single gap in the western bank, measuring 3 metres wide, marks what was likely the original entrance to this fortified enclosure. These moated sites were typically constructed during the Anglo-Norman period in Ireland, serving as defended farmsteads for colonists who needed protection in what was often contested territory.

First documented by Barry in 1977 and later included in the Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford published in 1996, this site represents one of many such earthworks scattered across the Irish countryside. These monuments offer tangible evidence of medieval settlement patterns and the defensive mindset of their builders, who carved out these protected spaces in a landscape that could shift from peaceful to perilous with little warning.
