It is semicircular, low to the ground, and outlines an interior space of just over six metres in diameter. Two courses of large stone blocks, faced on both their inner and outer sides, is all that remains of what was once recorded as a fort with an entrance. It does not appear on Ordnance Survey maps, which means it exists largely outside the official landscape, known mainly to those who go looking for it.

In 1937, the Office of Public Works noted a fort and entrance at this location, suggesting that significantly more of the structure was visible at that time. What survives today is the rump of what was likely a small enclosure, the kind of roughly circular walled space found across early medieval Ireland, used variously as a farmstead, an animal pen, or a defended homestead. The place-name Imleach Draighneach offers a small clue to context; imleach in Irish generally refers to a lakeside or marshy border area, and draighneach relates to blackthorn, suggesting a low-lying, scrubby patch of land. The stonework itself, with its carefully faced inner and outer surfaces, points to deliberate construction rather than casual field clearance, though without excavation, its date and precise function remain open questions.
