It is not dramatic to look at: a drystone wall, roughly built and partially collapsed, tracing an oval roughly seven and a half metres across. The wall stands only about seventy centimetres high where it survives, and sixty centimetres thick. Rushes obscure much of the interior. And yet the ground itself tells a quiet story, raised slightly at the southern end, cut into the slope at the north, shaped by human hands to level a space on ground that would otherwise have offered none.

The enclosure sits within a wider field system on the hillside, suggesting this was once part of an organised, if modest, agricultural landscape. Inside the enclosure, the traces of a hut site survive, the remains of a small structure that would once have provided shelter for a person or animals. A second enclosure lies roughly fifteen metres to the north-north-east. An enclosure of this kind, a roughly circular area defined by a low drystone boundary, is a common feature of early rural settlement in Ireland, typically used to shelter livestock, protect a dwelling, or mark out a small cultivated plot. What is less common is finding one still embedded so clearly within its original field system, with associated structures still legible on the ground around it, all on an exposed hillside that has seen little disturbance beyond the creep of rushes and the slow collapse of unmortared stone.
