The result is a site that exists only in half, the southern portion long since swallowed by the track, leaving behind a surviving arc that curves from the north-west around to the north-east.

By 1930, when the third edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map recorded it, the enclosure was already compromised. The map shows a subcircular form roughly forty metres across, with an east-west laneway cutting through its southern section. What remained after that intrusion is a semicircular area defined by a shallow fosse, a type of earthen ditch used to demarcate the boundary of an enclosed space, running in an arc about three metres wide. Enclosures of this kind are among the most commonly recorded archaeological features in the Irish landscape, most often associated with early medieval settlement, though without excavation the precise date and function of any individual example is difficult to establish with certainty.

The site sits in gently undulating farmland, and the surviving earthwork is modest by any measure. The fosse is shallow, the arc incomplete, and nothing about the surrounding pasture announces that something old lies just beneath the surface of the ordinary.
