The wall, running between the townlands of Parkroe and Shessareagh, cuts straight through a roughly subrectangular enclosure, indifferent to whatever purpose that enclosure originally served. It is the kind of layering that Irish landscapes do quietly and without ceremony, one administrative line drawn across an older one.

The enclosure was recorded on the 1922 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map, measuring approximately 34 metres on its northeast to southwest axis and around 30 metres across from northwest to southeast. Enclosures of this general type, ringforts or their less clearly defined cousins, were a common feature of early medieval Irish settlement, typically serving as farmsteads enclosed by an earthen bank or stone wall. Here, the western side has left no visible trace at ground level. To the east, a poorly preserved earthen bank survives in fragmentary form, running from northwest through north to east, standing only 0.5 to 0.7 metres high internally and externally, and around 4 metres wide. It is the kind of survival that rewards patience rather than spectacle, more legible on a map than underfoot.
