The site measures approximately 42 metres north to south and 39.5 metres east to west, and what gives it particular interest is the combination of features that survive: two stone-revetted banks, meaning banks faced or reinforced with dry stonework, separated by a fosse, the defensive ditch dug between them. The outer bank has not survived intact around the full circuit, remaining only from the north-east to south-east and at the north-west, but the inner bank is coherent enough to read the enclosure as a whole.

Ringforts, known in Irish as raths when defined primarily by earthen banks, were the most common form of rural settlement in early medieval Ireland, typically housing a single farming family and their livestock. The two-bank arrangement here, with its intervening ditch, places this example at the more substantial end of the spectrum; single-banked forts are far more common, and the extra effort of construction implies either greater resources or greater concern for defence. The entrance, at the south-east and still a clear two metres wide, is typical in its orientation, as south-easterly openings are frequently observed across Irish ringforts of the period. More intriguing is a narrow hollow running east to west just inside the inner bank on the western side: eight metres long, two metres wide, and sinking to around 1.2 metres in depth, currently filled with nettles. This is identified as a possible souterrain, an underground stone-lined passage or chamber associated with early medieval settlements and thought to have served for storage, refuge, or both. A further earthwork lies approximately 130 metres to the south-east, suggesting the site was not isolated but part of a broader pattern of early activity across this part of the landscape.
