What survives amounts to little more than a slight stony bank on the northern side, around sixty centimetres high and just under a metre and a half wide, and a short stretch of earthen bank to the south. The whole interior measures roughly nine metres across, making it a modest feature even before centuries of agriculture reduced it further.

The site belongs to a class of enclosed settlements found widely across early medieval Ireland. Circular enclosures of this kind were typically formed by a bank and ditch defining a domestic or agricultural space, and they vary considerably in scale and elaboration. This example, at nine metres internally, sits at the smaller end of that range. It was recorded on the first edition of the Ordnance Survey map as a circular enclosure, which suggests it was more legible in the nineteenth century than it is today. Its position, sixty metres south-east of a large rath, a type of earthen ringfort associated with early medieval farming communities, raises the possibility that the two sites were related in some way, whether as satellite enclosure, stock pen, or simply as neighbouring features of the same settled landscape along the Finglas river valley on the Iveragh Peninsula.
