This circular earthwork, measuring approximately 33 metres north to south and 35 metres east to west, consists of a raised platform defined by a defensive scarp that still stands about 1.5 metres high. The position was clearly chosen with care; the elevated location would have provided both strategic advantage and a statement of authority over the local landscape during the medieval period.

The ringwork shows signs of later interference, particularly in its southern section where an old quarry pit, roughly 1.4 metres deep and covering an area of 10 by 20 metres, cuts into the original structure. This quarrying activity appears on the 1840 Ordnance Survey six-inch map, suggesting it took place sometime before the mid-19th century. Additional evidence of stone extraction can be seen on the northwestern external face of the scarp. A more recent field boundary also bisects the platform along an east-west axis at its southern edge, though the overall form of the fortification remains clearly visible.

Despite these later alterations, the ringwork remains well-preserved and offers insights into medieval defensive architecture in Ireland. These earthen fortifications, typically dating from the 12th to 14th centuries, were often constructed by Anglo-Norman settlers as administrative and defensive centres. The absence of any visible entrance feature is intriguing; whilst erosion or the quarrying activity might have obscured the original gateway, it’s equally possible that access was via a wooden bridge or ramp that has left no archaeological trace.
