An iron gate now hangs where a prehistoric entrance once opened to the south, and the same circular bank that may once have defined a settlement or ceremonial space now keeps livestock in rather than enemies out. It is the kind of accidental continuity that Irish farmland occasionally throws up, the ancient and the agricultural folded together without ceremony.

The site is a ring-fort, a type of enclosure built in Ireland largely during the early medieval period, typically consisting of a raised earthen bank, sometimes with an outer ditch, used to define a farmstead or high-status residence. Here, the fosse, that is, the surrounding ditch, and the bank above it are still substantially intact, with the bank standing to around 2.4 metres above the bottom of the fosse. The outer face of the bank is finished in stone, a detail that would have given it both structural solidity and a degree of visual presence. When O'Kelly recorded the monument in 1942 to 1943, he noted an overall diameter of approximately 100 metres, with an interior diameter of around 70 metres, making it a notably large example of its type. He also observed that the interior sits roughly level with the surrounding field, and that the ground around it is poor, low-lying land, prone to waterlogging in winter.

The monument is not a managed heritage site with signage or a car park. It sits in agricultural land, and access would depend on the landowner's permission. The outline of the earthwork remains clearly legible on aerial photography, which gives a sense of just how well-preserved the overall form is even if the ground-level experience is more modest. Visiting in drier months would make the low, marshy terrain considerably more navigable, and the scale of the bank becomes more apparent when you are standing in the fosse itself and looking up at the stone-faced wall above.
