No earthworks rise above the surrounding fields. What remains is a cropmark, a pattern visible from the air when crops grow unevenly over buried features, revealing the outlines of two concentric fosses, or ditches, that once defined a defended enclosure. It is the kind of site that requires a change of perspective, quite literally, to be seen at all.

The two ditches form rings of unequal width around what was once a settled space. The inner fosse has an internal diameter of approximately 48 metres, whilst the outer ring extends to around 80 metres across. Unusually, the inner ditch is the wider of the two, a reversal of the arrangement more commonly seen in ringforts of this type. A rath, as this class of monument is known, was typically a farmstead enclosed by one or more earthen banks and ditches, constructed during the early medieval period in Ireland, broadly between the fifth and twelfth centuries. The presence of two concentric enclosures generally indicates a site of some status or complexity. At Kilcloggan, a shared entrance aligns through both features on the eastern side, suggesting a deliberate approach route into the interior. A small stream runs roughly east to west about fifty metres to the north, likely no coincidence in terms of the original choice of location.

Because the site has no surviving above-ground remains, there is little for a visitor to see on foot. Its form is recorded from aerial photography rather than from anything that can be walked around or touched.
