Measuring roughly 62 metres on its northeast to southwest axis and around 44 metres across, the enclosure is substantial enough to register clearly from the air, yet it appears to have gone unrecorded until relatively recently.

The site was identified and reported by Simon Dowling, who spotted it on Google Earth imagery dated 14 July 2018. It is also visible as an earthwork on separate aerial sources. Rectangular enclosures of this kind are known from many parts of Ireland and can belong to a wide range of periods and functions. Some are associated with early medieval settlement, others with ecclesiastical use, field systems, or later agricultural activity. Without excavation or further survey, it is difficult to say which category this one falls into, and the notes offer no firm dating. What the shape and scale do suggest is an enclosure built with some intention, the kind of boundary that would have defined something worth defining, whether a dwelling, a ceremonial space, or a working compound.
