First documented on the 1839 Ordnance Survey map as a double rectangular enclosure surrounded by earthen banks and moats, today only the eastern section remains clearly visible. The site occupies a gentle rise in the terrain, a strategic position that would have offered its medieval inhabitants both defensive advantages and views across the surrounding countryside.

The surviving enclosure forms a neat rectangle measuring 40 metres north to south and 37 metres east to west. Its boundaries are marked by a fascinating combination of water features and earthworks; the southern edge is defined by a water-filled fosse approximately 6 metres wide, whilst a field drain of similar width marks the western boundary. The northern and eastern moats, also around 6 metres in width, are more subtle features now, traceable mainly through variations in vegetation and slight depressions in the field surface that hint at their former depth and importance.

These moated sites, common throughout medieval Ireland, typically date from the 13th to 14th centuries and were often associated with Anglo-Norman settlement. They served multiple purposes; providing defence, drainage, and a clear statement of status in the landscape. The double enclosure shown on the early Ordnance Survey map suggests this site may have been particularly significant, possibly featuring separate areas for domestic buildings and agricultural storage, though centuries of farming have obscured the western enclosure entirely.
