No ditch, no entrance, no completing circuit. Whatever this enclosure once was, it has kept its perimeter largely to itself.

The surviving arc runs roughly northwest to east to southeast, with a diameter of around 42 metres along its northwest-southeast axis. The bank itself is modest, between three and a half and five metres wide, and rises less than a metre above the interior ground level, though it stands slightly more pronounced on its outer face. Embanked enclosures of this general type are scattered across the Irish landscape and can date from prehistory through the early medieval period. They were used variously as settlement sites, as enclosures for livestock, or for purposes that remain genuinely unclear. What makes this example quietly puzzling is that no fosse, the external ditch that typically accompanies such an earthwork and from which the bank material was usually quarried, can be identified. Nor is there any visible trace of an original entrance gap. Whether the rest of the perimeter was never built, has been ploughed or eroded away, or lies buried beneath the turf, cannot be said with any certainty.
