It lies just to the south-west of a neighbouring enclosure, as though the two features were once in conversation with each other, and its surviving remains speak more of what has been lost than what endures. The circle measures fourteen metres across, which is modest but not trivial, the kind of scale associated with a small enclosed farmstead or a subsidiary enclosure attached to a larger settlement. What makes it unusual is the degree to which it has been reduced: part of it survives as a low bank of earth and stone, up to three and a half metres wide but only thirty centimetres high on the interior, while another stretch has diminished further still into nothing more than an inward-facing scarp, a subtle change in ground level rather than any visible structure.

Enclosures of this kind are common across Ireland, typically interpreted as the remains of early medieval raths or ringforts, which were the enclosed farmsteads of farming families working the land between roughly the fifth and twelfth centuries. A rath usually relied on a raised bank, sometimes topped with a timber palisade, and a surrounding ditch known as a fosse to define and protect the interior. Here, no fosse is visible at ground level, either because it was never dug, because it has been completely filled in over the centuries, or because the site has been so altered that the evidence no longer survives at the surface. The south-east to south arc of the enclosing element is entirely absent, and no original entrance can be identified. In the south-west quadrant of the interior, low irregular heaps of displaced subsoil suggest that the ground has been dug over at some point, with further disturbance recorded against the internal face of the bank. Whether that disturbance is the result of agricultural activity, casual digging, or something more deliberate is not recorded.
