The enclosure is roughly 32 metres across, defined by a scarped inner edge dropping about a metre, and outside that, concentric with it, an earthen bank that rises more than a metre on its interior face. Between the two runs an annular channel, set slightly lower than both the interior and the surrounding field, giving the whole structure a subtle, layered profile that only becomes legible once you are standing close enough to read it.

Circular earthwork enclosures of this kind are a recurring feature across the Irish midlands and west, and while this particular site has not been dated or attributed to a named period in the available record, the form is broadly consistent with a ringfort, or rath, the most common type of early medieval enclosed settlement in Ireland, typically constructed between around 500 and 1000 AD. A rath is simply a defended farmstead, its earthen bank and ditch providing a degree of security for a farming family and their livestock. The double-bank arrangement here, with the annular depression between the two elements, is a more elaborate version of that basic design. Denis Power, who compiled the site record, noted that the outer bank has been truncated by a field boundary running from the south-east to the south-west, suggesting that later agricultural reorganisation took a slice off one edge. Field clearance debris has also been dumped around the perimeter, a sign that the land has been worked continuously around it even as the enclosure itself was left standing.

The interior, which slopes gently upward from the centre toward the edges, is now largely covered in dense overgrowth, so a visit requires some patience. The site sits in level pasture, which means the earthworks are more legible in low, raking light, early morning or late afternoon in the autumn and winter months when the vegetation dies back a little. The outer bank, where it survives, is the clearest feature to trace on approach. There is no formal access or signage, and as with most such sites in agricultural land, care should be taken not to disturb either the monument or the working field around it.
