Measuring roughly 60 metres east to west and 39 metres north to south, it is considerably bigger than the typical ringfort, and its shape sets it apart: where most early Irish enclosures are roughly circular, this one is decidedly rectangular, a form that sometimes points to a different function or a different period altogether.

The enclosure is defined by two banks with a fosse, or ditch, running between them, a doubling-up of defensive or boundary elements that suggests whoever built it wanted serious separation between inside and outside. The western side and the north-east corner preserve this arrangement best. On the inner bank along the eastern side, traces of stone revetment survive, meaning the earthen bank was once faced with stone to stabilise and reinforce it. Later activity has left its marks too: field walls, the workaday boundaries of more recent agriculture, have been built directly over the outer bank along the western side and at the south-east, and another field wall cuts across the southern section of the monument entirely. A causeway visible at the south appears to be modern, most likely a later agricultural addition rather than any original entrance feature.

The monument sits in working farmland, and the accumulated intrusions of field walls and modern causeways mean the enclosure reads as a palimpsest, each era leaving something behind on top of whatever came before. The two-bank-and-fosse arrangement, combined with that surviving stone revetment, gives enough detail to make it genuinely worth pausing over if you happen to be in the area and know where to look.
