It measures roughly 108 metres in diameter, which puts it at a considerable scale, closer to a small ringfort of unusual ambition than to the modest enclosures that dot the Irish countryside in their thousands. The bank itself is still legible in the landscape: about 4.7 metres wide, rising to 1.4 metres on its exterior face, though only 0.4 metres on the interior, suggesting the spoil was thrown outward rather than piled within.

A ringfort, or at least a structure in that tradition, typically combined an earthen bank with a fosse, the external ditch from which the bank material was dug, to create a defensive or boundary enclosure around a farmstead or settlement. Here, traces of what may be a fosse survive along the north-north-east and north-west arcs, though both sections are heavily overgrown and resist easy inspection. A road cuts through the bank along the north-north-west arc, a practical intrusion that has been there long enough to feel permanent. A stream runs along the outside of the bank on a roughly north-north-east to south-south-west line, which may have served as a natural complement to the fosse, or may simply have influenced why someone chose to build here in the first place. The break in the bank at the north-west could mark an original entrance, though it is equally possible the gap is more recent. On the 1846 Ordnance Survey six-inch map, a possible hut site is marked abutting the interior of the eastern arc, a detail that suggests the enclosure was still readable, and perhaps still in some kind of use or memory, at the time of the first systematic mapping of rural Ireland.

The interior today is heavily churned by cattle, which makes any surface reading of the ground difficult. The earthwork is not dramatic in the way that a well-preserved stone cashel might be, but its sheer diameter, and the layered presence of bank, possible fosse, stream, and that old cartographic note of a hut site, gives it a quiet density that rewards a careful look.
