It is easy to miss, and for most of its existence it probably has been. The structure is a subcircular enclosure roughly twelve metres east to west and ten metres north to south, its boundary formed by a stone wall now so thoroughly grassed over that it reads more as a low ripple in the ground than as anything deliberately built.

Enclosures of this kind are a recurring feature of the Irish landscape, and their interpretation is rarely straightforward. Some are the remains of ringforts, the enclosed farmsteads of early medieval Ireland, used between roughly the fifth and twelfth centuries. Others may be cashels, the term used specifically for stone-walled enclosures of similar date and function. The distinction matters here because a possible cashel, a separate and potentially related structure, has been identified approximately forty-five metres to the west. Whether the two were ever contemporary, or whether one predates or superseded the other, is not established. A later field wall abuts the enclosure at its southern side, suggesting that the surrounding landscape was reorganised at some point after the enclosure fell out of use, with agricultural boundaries simply built up against whatever was already there. The site was noted by Ros Ó Maoldúin, and its visibility confirmed through satellite imagery from the early 2010s.
