The enclosure measures roughly 27.5 metres north to south and 17.1 metres east to west, which puts it at a scale consistent with early medieval ringforts, though without excavation it resists easy classification. What makes it quietly strange is the way it has been absorbed into the working landscape: field boundaries now butt directly against its scarped edge to the east and south-east, and the organic debris dumped along those same sides has buried enough of the original fosse, the defensive ditch that once ran around the exterior, to make a full survey impossible. The structure has not been preserved so much as quietly swallowed.

The enclosure is defined by a combination of an earthen bank and a scarped edge, meaning that on some sides the boundary was built up and on others cut down into the slope. A fosse, approximately 1.5 metres wide, runs around the western and northern sides, with a counterscarp bank, a low secondary bank on the outer edge of the ditch, still visible to the north-east. The interior height of the main bank reaches 0.75 metres, while externally it rises to 1.3 metres, suggesting deliberate construction rather than a natural feature. The survey was compiled by Denis Power and uploaded to the record in August 2011, though the site itself almost certainly predates any modern documentation by many centuries. The dense overgrowth covering the east and south-east arc of the scarp, precisely where it stands tallest, at 1.4 metres, means that section remains the least understood part of the whole.

The interior is level and under pasture, so there is nothing dramatic to see from within; the enclosure reads better from a slight distance, where the relationship between the banked edge, the scarp, and the surrounding slope becomes clearer. Whitethorn trees and scrubby bushes have taken root along the bank, which is typical of old earthworks in Ireland and can actually help trace the line of a monument when the earthwork itself is subtle. The overgrown eastern portion is genuinely difficult to assess on the ground, so moving around the full perimeter, where access allows, gives a better sense of the original circuit than standing at the entrance. This is a site that rewards patience and a close reading of the ground rather than any immediate visual impact.
