The enclosure measures roughly 21 metres north to south and 18 metres east to west, its boundary defined not by a wall or a bank of piled earth but by a low, well-formed scarp, a slight but deliberate drop in the ground surface that once served as a defining edge. Shallow as it is, just 0.2 metres high and about 1.5 metres wide, the scarp retains a clarity of form that suggests it has survived largely undisturbed.

An enclosure of this kind is a broad category in Irish archaeology, referring simply to a defined area set apart from the surrounding landscape, most commonly associated with early medieval settlement, agriculture, or ritual activity. The precise function of this one is unknown. What can be said is that an external fosse, a shallow ditch running around the southern and north-eastern arcs of the enclosure, reinforces the sense that the boundary was intentional and constructed rather than accidental. The fosse is modest, 2 metres wide and only 0.1 metres deep as it survives, but its presence points to deliberate design. No obvious entrance survives, though slightly higher ground to the north-east has been noted as the probable location of one. The interior slopes gently southward and is now entirely grass covered. Notably, a second enclosure of the same type sits approximately 180 metres to the north in the same field, which raises the quiet question of whether the two were ever related or contemporary with one another.
