This rectangular earthwork, measuring 47 metres northwest to southeast and 46 metres northeast to southwest, consists of a raised platform covered in grass and ferns, surrounded by substantial defensive features. The site is defined by an earthen bank that stands 3 metres wide and rises 1.2 metres from the interior, whilst dropping 1.7 metres to the exterior, accompanied by an outer fosse or moat that varies from 7 metres wide at the top to 2.5 metres at its base, with an external depth of 1.5 metres on the southwestern side.

The defensive perimeter continues with natural and constructed features; a scarp of 0.5 metres defines the northwestern boundary, whilst the northeastern side features a more pronounced 1.7 metre scarp, and a field bank marks the southeastern edge. A northwest to southeast road now runs beyond the southwestern moat, separating this site from a nearby rath approximately 20 metres to the west, though that neighbouring fortification only partially survives southwest of the modern roadway.

These moated sites, typically dating from the Anglo-Norman period, served as fortified homesteads for colonising families who needed protection in what was often hostile territory. The combination of the raised platform, surrounding bank, and water-filled moat would have provided both defensive capabilities and a statement of authority in the medieval landscape, whilst the proximity to another rath suggests this area held strategic importance for successive generations of inhabitants.
