This medieval earthwork takes the form of a roughly rectangular enclosure, originally defended by a series of earthen banks and ditches. Though time and agriculture have taken their toll on the monument, its basic structure remains visible: an inner bank of earth and stone, a defensive ditch or fosse, and traces of an outer bank that survive mainly along the northeastern side.

The inner bank has weathered down to little more than a scarp in places, with several modern gaps breaking through at the western, northwestern and eastern points; likely created for agricultural access over the centuries. The defensive ditch that once encircled the site is now most clearly visible along the northeast side and the northwestern portion of the southwest side, whilst the outer bank has almost entirely disappeared except for a low rise on the northeast. A probable original entrance can be identified as a gap in the southeastern section of the defences.

Within the enclosure, the ground slopes gently towards the southeast and loose stones scattered across the interior hint at former structures. Archaeological investigation has revealed two significant features: the foundations of a house built against the inner bank on the southwest side, and a souterrain, or underground storage chamber, in the northeast quadrant. These subterranean passages were common in early medieval Ireland, used for storing food and valuables, and occasionally as hiding places during raids. Together, these remains paint a picture of a defended homestead that would have been home to a family of some local importance during the medieval period.
