Roughly 26 metres across, it is not the kind of monument that announces itself. A low earthen bank traces part of its southern and western arc, while elsewhere the boundary survives only as a scarp, a slight drop or slope in the ground that marks where a more substantial boundary once stood.

Enclosures of this type are generally understood to be early medieval in origin, functioning as ringforts, the enclosed farmsteads that once defined the Irish rural landscape in their thousands. What gives this particular example a small additional point of interest is the presence of a cairn or burial feature visible in the interior, catalogued separately but closely associated with the enclosure itself. Claffey noted the site in 1983, by which point the surrounding land had already been brought into agricultural use, a process that accounts for much of the degradation. The transformation of boggy or marginal ground into productive farmland across Connacht, particularly from the nineteenth century onwards, took a considerable toll on earthwork monuments that had survived in quieter corners for well over a millennium.
