The earthworks have been levelled, the outer bank absorbed long ago into an adjoining field boundary that has itself since disappeared, and what remains of the original enclosure, roughly 38 metres across on its northeast to southwest axis, amounts to two shallow concentric ditches, known as fosses, barely a quarter of a metre deep in places. A ringfort, or rath, was typically a circular enclosure defined by one or more earthen banks and ditches, used as a farmstead and defensible homestead during the early medieval period in Ireland. That this one was bivallate, meaning it had two such encircling banks rather than the more common single ring, would originally have marked it out as a site of some local importance.

The site was already well enough established to appear on the Ordnance Survey six-inch maps of 1842, 1905, and 1936, each showing the characteristic hachured circle that cartographers used to indicate a circular earthwork. By 1905 the bivallate nature of the enclosure was recorded, though even then the outer bank was already absent along the southeastern quadrant. The slow erasure continued across the following decades, leaving the western half poorly defined and the northeastern arc readable mainly as a cropmark, the kind of differential growth in overlying vegetation or soil discolouration that shows up in aerial photography and reveals buried features that ground-level inspection would miss entirely. A large depression in the northwestern quadrant of the interior adds one further unanswered detail, its origin and purpose unrecorded.

The site sits in low-lying pasture land, which means there is little to distinguish it visually from the surrounding fields on an ordinary visit. The fosses running from north-northeast to east-southeast are, by aerial record, the clearest surviving indicator of the original plan, though at ground level the outline along the western half is described as ill-defined. Anyone with an interest in reading ordinary agricultural land for buried archaeology would find this a useful case study in how a once-substantial enclosure can be reduced, over centuries of farming, to shallow ground traces and the occasional tell-tale mark in a dry summer's crop.
