An oval enclosure, roughly 80 metres along its longer axis and about 60 metres across, sits low enough that it would be easy to walk past without registering it. The enclosing bank rises no more than 0.95 metres at its highest point, and much of the site only became clearly readable when seen from the air, appearing as a shadow site in an aerial photograph taken by Dr D.D.C. Pochin Mould. Locally, people call it a cillín, a word used in Ireland to denote a small burial ground, often associated with unbaptised infants or early Christian communities, suggesting a long memory of its sacred character.

By the time the antiquarian Bowman recorded it in 1934, the site was already considerably reduced. He described a double-ramparted fort on land belonging to T. O'Brien, roughly 65 yards in diameter, with the interior ground standing about three feet higher than the surrounding field, a common feature where centuries of occupation and organic accumulation have raised a site above its neighbours. He also noted a depression on the southern side, around eight yards by six yards and about two feet deep, the purpose of which he did not specify but which hints at deliberate digging or structural collapse. A ringfort lies at the northern end of the enclosure, and the whole area is remembered locally as both a burial ground and a church site, layering ecclesiastical and secular uses across the same small piece of ground. That combination, an early enclosure, a ringfort, and a named burial tradition, is characteristic of sites where early Christian communities established themselves within or alongside existing earthwork boundaries, a pattern seen repeatedly across Munster.
