The enclosed area measures roughly 110 metres from northwest to southeast and about 90 metres across the shorter axis, making it a substantial feature by any measure. What survives is a low earthen bank, a fosse (a wide, shallow ditch dug as part of a defensive or boundary arrangement), and, at the southwest, a break in the bank paired with a causeway that is thought to mark the original entrance to the enclosure.

The earthwork has not survived entirely intact. The bank was at some point scarped, meaning its outer face was cut back and reshaped, and a more recent low bank of earth and stone was added on top of it. This layering of interventions across different periods is common at sites of this kind, where an ancient boundary feature remained a convenient marker long after its original function was forgotten or abandoned. The enclosure's scale and hilltop position suggest it may have served a ceremonial or territorial role in the early medieval period, though it could equally belong to an earlier phase of activity. Adding a further layer of interest, a holy well sits just outside the fosse on the eastern side, a proximity that is unlikely to be coincidental. Holy wells in Ireland frequently occupy ground that was already considered significant long before the arrival of Christianity, and their association with older earthworks is well documented across the country.
