It is barely knee-high, no more than two courses of stone stacked in what surveyors describe as random construction, meaning the stones were laid without any systematic coursing or dressing, simply placed as they came to hand. Furze and grass have largely reclaimed it. At just forty centimetres wide and twenty centimetres high for much of its length, it is the kind of feature a walker would step over without a second thought.

The wall came to formal attention during an archaeological and cultural heritage assessment carried out by Quinn and Carroll in 2010, in advance of a proposed wind farm development at Dooneens. Field boundaries of this kind are among the most common and least celebrated features in the Irish rural landscape. They were built by farming communities over many centuries to divide land, manage livestock, and mark ownership or tenure, often using whatever loose stone was available nearby. This one sits to the southwest of a neighbouring wall recorded separately in the same survey, suggesting it formed part of a wider pattern of enclosure across the townland, the precise date and history of which remain unrecorded.
