The enclosure measures roughly 12.4 metres east to west and 6.8 metres north to south, its perimeter marked by a low earthen bank no more than 30 centimetres high along most of its circuit. That bank survives best along the southern and western arcs, where the ground level outside drops away slightly, giving those stretches a marginally more pronounced profile.

Enclosures of this type, defined by a simple earthen bank rather than stone walling or a deep ditch, are found across Ireland and are notoriously difficult to date without excavation. They may represent the remains of a small ringfort, a class of enclosed farmstead built predominantly between the early medieval period and around the twelfth century, or they could belong to an entirely different tradition of land division or animal management. What makes this one quietly interesting is its setting: a level shelf of elevated ground on a hillside, chosen with some deliberateness, the bank still holding its oval form after however many centuries of neglect. The northern arc sits a full metre above the outer ground level at that point, while the southern arc rises only 40 centimetres above its surroundings, suggesting either uneven original construction or differential erosion over time.
