The structure, roughly subrectangular in shape and measuring approximately 30 metres east to west by 25 metres north to south, was recorded consistently across the 1842, 1906, and 1934 six-inch OS editions, each showing trees within its interior. Those trees are the most visible clue that something organised once stood here; in the Irish landscape, a cluster of trees persisting through generations of agricultural change often marks a site that farmers, consciously or otherwise, left alone.

The enclosure itself has been levelled, most likely through centuries of ploughing, but traces of its original form survive in the topography. A curving scarp, the remnant of what was once a bank or boundary wall, runs from the south-east around to the south-south-west. On the eastern side, a slight internal lip sits just above a fall in the ground of around 1.3 metres, dropping down toward a stream, suggesting the enclosure was deliberately positioned to use the natural break in the slope as part of its boundary. Enclosures of this type are a common, if poorly understood, feature of the Irish countryside; some are the remains of early medieval settlement sites, others may be associated with farming or stock management, and without excavation it is rarely possible to say which. A spread of dark soil noted at the western edge of the site hints at organic activity, perhaps occupation or the accumulation of settlement debris, though again the evidence stops well short of certainty.
