Its existence is inferred rather than confirmed, glimpsed only in the cartographic record of the 1838 Ordnance Survey six-inch map, which suggests a roughly circular feature roughly twenty-five metres across on a gentle east-facing slope. Today, farm buildings occupy the site entirely, and nothing of the original form can be made out at ground level.

Enclosures of this kind, typically circular or oval earthworks defined by a bank and ditch, are among the most common archaeological features in the Irish landscape, though their dates and functions vary considerably. Some are early medieval ringforts, used as enclosed farmsteads; others may be prehistoric in origin or associated with ceremonial activity. Without excavation, it is impossible to say which category this one belongs to, or indeed whether the feature on the 1838 map represents anything of genuine archaeological substance at all. The qualification built into its classification, possible enclosure, reflects that uncertainty honestly. What the old map recorded, and what lies beneath the present yard surface, remain open questions.
