It has no visible entrance. There is no fosse, the surrounding ditch that typically accompanies earthworks of this kind, and no obvious way in or out. Five straight sections of stone-faced earthen bank form a roughly polygonal shape, enclosing an interior space of about 34 metres east to west and just over 32 metres north to south. Mature coniferous trees have taken root along the bank itself, their weight and roots now part of the structure rather than separate from it, and scrub has colonised much of the interior.

The earliest cartographic record of the site appears on the Ordnance Survey six-inch map of 1839, where it was recorded as a subrectangular embanked enclosure, its outer dimensions running to roughly 40 metres east to west and 35 metres north to south. By the time the next major OS edition was produced in 1924, surveyors were describing it as polygonal rather than subrectangular, a shift that may reflect a closer look on the ground rather than any change to the structure itself. The enclosure has since been further altered by a field bank running east to west that cuts across its northern edge, truncating whatever original form it once held. Embanked enclosures of this general type appear across Ireland in a variety of periods and contexts, associated variously with early medieval settlement, stock management, or ceremonial use, though without excavation it is rarely possible to say which applies in any given case. Here, the combination of polygonal layout, stone-facing, and the complete absence of an identifiable entrance makes the site quietly anomalous even within that broad category.
