It measures roughly 24 metres across, and what remains of it is defined by a scarp, essentially a low earthen bank formed by a cut into the slope, running from the north-west around to the south-south-east, accompanied on the outside by a fosse, a ditch, that widens and deepens considerably along its south-eastern stretch. The deepened section drops to nearly one and a half metres, suggesting that at some point the drainage needs of the surrounding land took priority over whatever the original feature meant to anyone.

The enclosure belongs to a category of monument found widely across Ireland, circular earthen enclosures that in many cases represent the remains of early medieval ringforts, once used as farmsteads or places of settlement. What makes this particular example quietly melancholy is the degree to which later land management has overwritten it. A drainage channel, somewhere between two and a half and three and a half metres wide, cuts directly across the south-western sector of the enclosure, and a townland boundary runs the same way. Together, they have removed all visible trace of that part of the monument. The ground is slightly raised along the western edge of the channel, most likely from the soil thrown up during drainage works, which adds a small irony: the act of digging has both destroyed evidence and, in a minor way, preserved the outline of its own intrusion. The interior is grassed over and slopes gently to the north-east.
