What was once a roughly D-shaped earthwork, some forty metres across and ringed by a fosse, the term for a defensive ditch dug around a settlement or monument, now exists only as a smear of dumped clay mounds sitting at ground level. There is nothing to see from the field. The site does not announce itself.

The enclosure's former shape is known almost entirely from the Ordnance Survey six-inch map surveyed in 1903 to 1904, which recorded the monument before it was levelled. That map shows a D-shaped outline with an outer fosse running around most of the perimeter, open only in the north-east quadrant, suggesting either a deliberate entrance gap or a feature that had already begun to erode by the time the surveyors arrived. The enclosure sat at the base of a west-facing slope on gently undulating ground, with a river passing roughly fifty metres to the south-west on a north-west to south-east course. That combination of sheltered low ground and proximity to water is typical of early enclosed settlements across Ireland, where such features were often associated with ringforts or small defended farmsteads. Whatever stood here, the map is now the closest thing to a record of its shape.
