Situated on low lying wet pasture-land, 10m E of the Black River, which forms the boundary with the townland of Corey. Earthwork (WM006-063----) 80m to SE. The whole area is criss-crossed with old field drains. A circular flat-topped mound (dims. 20m N-S; 19m E-W) with slight remains of a fosse at SW. A second arc of an earthen bank and external fosse visible to SW, 15m from the base of the motte. The mound has been impacted by digging in the past, possibly when the course of the river was diverted. The earthwork to the SW may be the remains of a river embankment. However, there seems to be a wide bank visible on the Digital Globe aerial photograph taken November 2011 12m to SE of the motte, which may suggest part of an enclosing element of a bailey.
