The interior, which would once have enclosed a farmstead of some kind, now serves as a cattle shelter, complete with a trough at its centre and ground badly poached by hooves. It is a reminder that Ireland's estimated 40,000 or so ringforts, earthen or stone-banked enclosures typically dating from the early medieval period, have always had to share the landscape with the agricultural life that surrounds them, sometimes at considerable cost to their survival.

The site sits on a north-east-facing slope in undulating pastureland, and its outline has shifted slightly between historical map editions. The first edition Ordnance Survey six-inch map shows a slightly oval form, with a pathway running along the outside of the south-west quadrant. Later mapping depicts a more circular enclosure, its edges pressed close by field boundaries on three sides. Most of the earthworks have been reduced over time, and a hedgerow has colonised what remains of the inner bank along much of the circuit. The south-east quadrant, however, survives in considerably better condition. There, the inner bank still stands to an external height of 1.9 metres and measures 4.8 metres wide, while the external fosse, a U-shaped ditch that would have added both drainage and a degree of defensive depth, reaches 1.55 metres deep and 7.6 metres across. An outer bank also survives at that section, standing nearly 1.95 metres on its exterior face. A large mound of dumped material sits on the inner bank in the same quadrant, an addition that says something about how the site has been treated in recent centuries.
