It is a hachured enclosure, meaning the cartographers indicated its raised or defined boundary with short radiating lines, a convention used to suggest earthworks that still had enough presence in the landscape to be worth recording. The enclosure measures roughly forty metres in diameter, a size consistent with the kind of circular ringfort or rath that was once a common feature of the Irish countryside, typically used as a defended farmstead during the early medieval period.

What makes this particular site quietly interesting is its context. It does not sit alone in the landscape but forms part of a cluster of similar enclosures in the area, and it lies within a system of fields that may broadly belong to the same period of activity, though some elements of that field system could be earlier still. This layering, enclosures and field boundaries that may have been laid out and used across different phases of occupation, suggests a locality that was organised and worked over a long stretch of time rather than briefly settled and abandoned. The 1840 map remains the clearest documentary evidence for the enclosure's outline, recorded at a moment when such earthworks were still legible enough to catch a surveyor's eye.
