The enclosure stretches roughly 80 metres east to west and 52 metres north to south, defined by a scarp, a natural or cut slope used to demarcate and defend a boundary, though here the boundary is only intermittently visible. Parts of it appear to be natural landform pressed into service; other stretches seem deliberately shaped. From the south-east to the south-west, the line disappears entirely. What makes the site stranger still is what occupies its interior: a small triangular flat-topped mound of earth and stone, just three metres long and two and a half wide, with traces of stone-facing along its eastern and southern sides. It is an odd, careful thing to find inside an enclosure that is otherwise struggling to hold its shape.

The Ordnance Survey six-inch map, compiled in the nineteenth century, records a local tradition that the ground here was the site of a battle, though no further detail survives to say when or between whom. A cillín, or children's burial ground, a type of informal cemetery historically used for unbaptised infants and others excluded from consecrated ground, lies within the enclosure interior. A further miscellaneous burial has been recorded immediately to the south. This clustering of features, the contested or ceremonial enclosure, the anomalous mound, the burials, suggests a place that accumulated significance across a long period, even if the specific episodes behind that accumulation are now largely lost. O'Flanagan, writing in 1927, noted the site in his survey of the region, but did not resolve what the central mound represents or what battle, if any, the land once witnessed.
