It is not. The bank, composed of earth and stone and now grass-covered, traces an enclosure roughly nine to ten metres across. What makes it quietly interesting is the engineering embedded in its construction: the north-west portion of the interior has been built up, while the south-east portion has been cut into the slope, the two adjustments working together to produce a level floor on ground that would otherwise tilt. Someone, at some point, put real effort into making this small circular space flat and usable.

Enclosures of this kind are a common enough feature of the Irish upland landscape, typically associated with early medieval settlement and agriculture, though their precise dates are rarely easy to establish without excavation. They often served as small farmsteads or livestock compounds, and their modest banks would originally have supported a fence or hedge rather than a substantial wall. What gives this particular example some additional interest is its immediate company. A hut site lies ten metres to the north-west, and a second hut site sits twenty-eight metres to the east, suggesting that this was once part of a small cluster of activity rather than an isolated structure. Together, the three features point toward a modest working landscape, people and animals sharing the lower slopes of the mountain in some organised, if now entirely vanished, arrangement.
