Entered in the Record of Monuments and Places in 1996 as an "Enclosure", it is in fact nothing of the sort. The wall is C-shaped, running about 25 metres north to south and standing 1.8 metres high, open on its western side with no physical evidence that it was ever circular or ever closed off to form an enclosure proper.

What makes the misclassification mildly curious is the company the wall keeps. Just 11 metres to its south sits a cashel, a type of early medieval stone-walled fort typically circular in plan and used as a defended farmstead or settlement. Three field boundaries radiate outward from the C-shaped wall at the north, east, and south, suggesting its role was agricultural rather than defensive or enclosing. It reads, in other words, as a fragment of an old field system, a windbreak or stock barrier, rather than the remains of any kind of enclosure in the archaeological sense. The gap between what a site is officially called and what it appears to be on the ground is not unusual in Irish archaeology, where older surveys sometimes applied convenient category labels to features that resisted easy classification.
