Partly swallowed by a field boundary at its southern end and eaten into by quarrying at its western and north-eastern edges, it survives as a fragmentary outline in the grass, easy to overlook and easier still to misread as a natural rise in the ground.

What remains is a pear-shaped earthwork, measuring roughly 83.5 metres along its north-north-west to south-south-east axis and about 59.6 metres across. It was originally defined by a raised bank and an external fosse, the fosse being the shallow ditch dug on the outside of the bank to provide material for its construction and to add a further barrier. Enclosures of this general type are common across Ireland, often associated with early medieval settlement, though the particular shape here, broader at one end and narrowing toward the other, sets it apart from the more familiar circular ringfort form. The bank can still be traced along the south-western through to the north-western arc, and again from the north-east around to the east. The fosse survives along a similar stretch, from the south around through west to north-west. A gap on the northern side is likely a relatively recent break rather than an original entrance.
