From a distance it reads as little more than a slight thickening of the pasture, but walk the perimeter and the logic of it becomes clearer: a low bank of earth and stone, still roughly four and a half metres wide despite centuries of weathering, tracing out a subrectangular shape some twenty metres from north to south and seventeen from east to west. The interior stands only marginally higher than the surrounding land, and there is no fosse, the defensive ditch that so often accompanies earthwork enclosures of this kind, visible at ground level.

What survives is modest but coherent. The original entrance can be identified on the north-west side, where a four-metre gap interrupts the bank. Just south of that opening, a short curved bank extends outward from the enclosure wall, running roughly north-west to south-east for about six metres. Features like this, sometimes called outworks or entrance features, are thought in comparable sites to have helped funnel or control movement in and out of the enclosed space, though their precise function varies considerably from site to site. Inside, in the north-east corner pressed against the inner face of the bank, there is a shallow quarry hole roughly four metres square and only about twenty centimetres deep, suggesting that at some point material was dug from within the enclosure itself, possibly to repair or build up the bank nearby. The slope on which all of this sits faces gently south-south-west, a common orientation for early settlement and agricultural enclosures across Ireland, favouring shelter and light.
