On a gentle south-facing slope of a ridge running roughly west-northwest to east-southeast, an enclosure once occupied a circular area roughly 41 metres across, its boundary formed by an earthen bank with traces of an outer fosse, a defensive ditch, running along the south-western and north-western edges. Today, under pasture, none of this is visible at ground level. The site exists more as a coordinate than a place.

When Gannon recorded it in 1972, the earthen bank was at least partially legible in the landscape. Embanked enclosures of this kind are relatively common in the Irish midlands and west, and their functions varied considerably: some enclosed early settlement or farmsteads, others had ceremonial or territorial purposes. The positioning here, on a south-facing ridge slope with what appears to have been a partial outer fosse, suggests deliberate siting for drainage, visibility, or defence, though without excavation it is impossible to say more. What is clear is that in the fifty-odd years since it was described, the earthworks have become entirely absorbed into the ordinary appearance of a working field.
