Measuring approximately 45 metres north to south and 35 metres east to west, this moated site is defined by low field boundaries on its eastern and southern sides, whilst the remains of what appears to be a fosse, or defensive ditch, mark its western and northern edges. The fosse itself is about 4 metres wide and 0.3 metres deep, though centuries of weathering have softened its once sharp contours. A small pond has formed at the southwest corner, just outside the enclosure's boundary.

The interior of the site remains remarkably level, sitting slightly higher than the surrounding ground; a characteristic feature of these medieval earthworks that helped with drainage and defence. This particular example was first identified through aerial photography taken by the Geological Survey of Ireland in April 1974, when the outline of the ancient structure became visible from above. The photograph revealed what ground level observation might miss: the clear geometric shape of a purposefully constructed enclosure.

The site doesn't stand alone in the landscape. Another enclosure sits about 60 metres to the northwest, with a third approximately 110 metres in the same direction, suggesting this area once supported a cluster of medieval settlements or farmsteads. These moated sites, typically dating from the 13th to 14th centuries, were often home to Anglo-Norman settlers or prosperous Irish families who adopted this defensive architectural style. The moats served both practical and symbolic purposes; providing protection from raids, marking property boundaries, and demonstrating the status of their inhabitants in medieval Irish society.
