This is a bivallate enclosure, meaning it has two concentric defensive or boundary circuits rather than the single bank-and-ditch arrangement more commonly seen in ringforts across Ireland. That doubling is what makes it unusual, and what raises questions about whoever built it and why they felt one ring was not enough.

The inner enclosure measures twenty-four metres in diameter, defined by an earthen bank roughly two metres wide, rising about half a metre on the interior side and a more assertive one and a half metres on the exterior. Traces of a fosse, a rock-cut or earthen ditch, survive on the eastern side. Around this sits a berm, a flat platform of ground approximately twelve metres wide, before a second earthen bank begins, itself accompanied by an external fosse and an outer counterscarp bank, the modest raised lip left on the far side of a ditch when the spoil is thrown outward. At its fullest extent, the whole complex reaches an outer diameter of around sixty metres. Two entrances have been identified: a four-metre gap through the inner bank on the north-west side, and a slightly wider opening of four and a half metres through the middle bank on the west. The alignment of the site, overlooking a col to the north-east, a low saddle of ground between higher terrain, suggests the position was chosen with some awareness of the surrounding landscape, though whether for defence, agriculture, or ceremony remains an open question.
