Though now levelled and visible only as a slightly raised circular area measuring roughly 20 metres east to west and 17 metres north to south, this archaeological feature once dominated the ridge, spanning nearly its entire width. The site's elevated position provided strategic advantages, with steep slopes falling away to the north and south, whilst gentler gradients to the east and west offered easier access routes. To the east, the land drops down to a strip of low ground that borders the River Erne.

The enclosure's perimeter can still be traced by a faint scarp or undulation, rising about 40 centimetres above the surrounding pasture. Its location was carefully chosen; the ridge offers commanding views across the surrounding landscape of undulating grassland, much of which remains damp and poorly drained even today. This elevated, drier position would have been particularly valuable to its ancient builders, providing both defensive advantages and practical benefits for daily life.

The site doesn't exist in isolation but forms part of a wider archaeological landscape. Just 470 metres to the north-northeast, on the banks of the River Erne, lies a burial ground, suggesting this area held significance for local communities over extended periods. First brought to official attention by Jean-Charles Caillère and documented by Jane O'Shaughnessy in November 2021, the enclosure at Cloghore represents one of countless archaeological sites across Ireland that, whilst modest in their current appearance, help piece together the story of how people lived, worked, and organised their communities in ancient times.
