The enclosure measures about 52 metres north to south and 36 metres east to west, making it a substantial feature that would have been visible for some distance across the surrounding countryside, and presumably still is.

What makes this particular enclosure quietly puzzling is the layering of activity it preserves. The interior is crossed by cultivation ridges running on an east to west axis, the kind of parallel earthen furrows associated with spade-tillage farming, often of post-medieval date. Someone, at some point, was farming inside what may originally have been a much older enclosure. A stone field fence has been built along the top of the scarp to the east, further blurring the line between prehistoric monument and working farmland. At the centre of the interior sits a mound of dumped earth and stones, the origin and purpose of which is unrecorded. It could represent cleared field material, the robbed remains of an earlier structure, or simply accumulated agricultural debris. The enclosure type itself, an oval earthwork on elevated ground, is broadly consistent with later prehistoric or early medieval forms found elsewhere in Munster, though no specific dating evidence is noted for this site.
