From the ground, it is almost nothing: a faintly thicker band of grass and nettles tracing three sides of a roughly square outline, around seventeen metres by sixteen. The fourth side has been absorbed entirely by a modern field wall. Only from the air does the geometry become legible, which is precisely how it was first identified, appearing in aerial photography and logged as a potential site in the Record of Monuments and Places in 1996.

The site is tentatively identified as a possible moated site, a category of medieval enclosure typically consisting of a raised platform or platform remnant surrounded by a water-filled ditch. Moated sites in Ireland are generally associated with the Anglo-Norman period, roughly the twelfth to fourteenth centuries, and were often constructed as defended farmsteads or minor manorial centres. Here, the earthwork has been levelled almost entirely flat, and the defining feature is now just that narrow band of denser vegetation, about one and a half metres wide, which follows the line where the original ditch or bank once ran. Whether the site was ever a true moated enclosure, or something else altogether, remains unresolved; its classification as a potential rather than confirmed monument reflects exactly that uncertainty.
