What survives is a subcircular earthwork, roughly 55 metres across on its northeast-to-southwest axis and 40 metres on the other, its defining bank now reduced to a low stony ridge smothered in hazel and briars. The interior sits lower than the surrounding ground, giving the whole feature a slightly sunken, bowl-like quality that feels faintly deliberate even as the structure crumbles.

Enclosures of this type are among the most common archaeological monuments in Ireland, though their age and purpose vary considerably. Many are ringforts, which were enclosed farmsteads in use primarily during the early medieval period, roughly the fifth to the twelfth centuries. Others may be earlier, associated with Bronze Age or Iron Age activity, or later, connected to medieval settlement. Without excavation, it is difficult to say which category this particular site belongs to. What adds a degree of interest here is a large depression in the northeast quadrant that extends beyond the enclosing bank itself, suggesting some kind of external feature, perhaps a quarry pit, a collapsed souterrain (an underground stone-lined passage sometimes associated with ringforts), or simply the source of the material used to build the bank in the first place. A gap on the southwest side appears to be a modern intrusion rather than an original entrance, which makes reading the site's original layout a little harder.
