A modern field wall bisects the site cleanly, and what once measured roughly 28 metres across has been reduced, on its western side, to a lawn. What remains to the east is overgrown and disturbed, resembling, to an untrained eye, little more than a slightly raised, flat-topped mound in an otherwise level Limerick pasture. It is the kind of place that registers as unremarkable until you know what you are looking at.

The enclosure at Ballyregan sits in level ground with moderate views in all directions, a setting typical of early medieval enclosed settlements in the Irish countryside. An enclosure of this type, related to the ringfort tradition, would originally have been defined by a raised sub-circular earthwork, the perimeter marked by a scarp, essentially a steep-sided earthen edge, rather than a bank and ditch. The site appears on the 1897 Ordnance Survey 25-inch map, where it is clearly depicted as a raised sub-circular area. When the Archaeological Survey of Ireland visited and surveyed it in 2000, the eastern and southern arc of the scarped edge was still traceable, measuring roughly 7.5 metres wide and just 0.4 metres high, with the interior platform running approximately 10 metres north to south and 8 metres east to west. A companion ringfort, a similar though typically more complete form of enclosed settlement, lies just 30 metres to the north, suggesting this part of Ballyregan was once a more active and densely occupied landscape than its current appearance implies. Field boundaries intersect the monument at both its eastern and western edges, further complicating what survives.

By the time a Google Earth image was captured in June 2018, the western half of the monument had been absorbed entirely into a modern house plot and its garden. The remaining eastern portion is overgrown and should not be taken as representative of the original scale. Anyone visiting the area with an interest in early settlement archaeology would do better to treat this as a site to locate and observe from the surrounding lanes rather than to approach closely, given that part of it is now private residential ground. The nearby ringfort to the north, recorded separately, may offer a clearer sense of what these paired monuments once looked like in the landscape.
