The rath, as this type of earthwork is properly called, a roughly circular enclosure typically built as a defended farmstead during the early medieval period, measures roughly 40 metres north to south and 35.4 metres east to west. What makes it particularly notable is its double-bank construction: two raised earthen ramparts with a fosse, or ditch, running between them. This kind of concentric arrangement signalled status and wealth among its original occupants, a household prosperous enough to invest in more substantial defences than a single bank would provide.

The entrance survives at the south-south-east, formed as a causeway across the fosse, which would have allowed passage without compromising the enclosure's defensive logic. Despite the overgrowth that now cloaks much of the structure, the earthworks remain well preserved beneath, their form still legible in the undulating grassland. Later agricultural activity has left its marks: a field wall cuts across the monument at both the north-north-west and south-south-east, and a second wall overlies the outer bank on the west-north-west to north-north-west arc. These intrusions are a reminder that for much of the post-medieval period, such sites were simply features of the farmed landscape, their origins either forgotten or disregarded by those dividing fields and managing stock.
