The enclosure is barely readable now, reduced to gentle undulations in pasture, but it was once distinct enough to be carefully recorded on the Ordnance Survey six-inch map of 1936, marked with hachures indicating a curving bank running from northwest to north-northeast, enclosing a circuit of roughly twenty-five metres.

At the time of that mapping, the site lay within woodland, and the treeline still crowds its edge today. The shift from woodland to pasture has not been kind to the definition of the bank, which has softened considerably over the decades. Enclosures of this kind, a broad category in Irish archaeology covering anything from early medieval farmsteads to prehistoric field boundaries, tend to exploit natural topography rather than fight it, and whoever chose this particular spot made deliberate use of the cliff edge as a ready-made boundary to the east, with the stream below providing both a natural obstacle and a water source. The curving bank would have completed the circuit on the landward sides.

What survives is subtle. A visitor approaching from the pasture side would need to look for the faint rise and fall of the ground rather than any dramatic earthwork, and the woodland margin gives the spot a quality of slight enclosure even now, as though something of the original arrangement persists in the lie of the land.
