Yet beneath the hawthorn and blackthorn that crowd the old field fences crossing it, this oval earthwork preserves the ghost of an ancient enclosure, one that once formed half of a paired monument alongside a circular companion of similar size joined to it on its eastern side.

The enclosure, roughly 20 metres across on its east-west axis and about 15 metres north to south, appears on Ordnance Survey maps of both 1838 and 1930, paired with the adjacent circular enclosure of around 20 metres in diameter. Enclosures of this kind are typically earthen or stone-walled ringworks associated with early medieval settlement and farming, though without excavation their precise date and function remain open questions. By the time the landscape was being mapped in the nineteenth century, field boundaries were already being drawn across both monuments, one running on a north-west to south-east axis, another cutting north to south through the centre of the oval enclosure itself. A road running east to west had clipped the northern edge of both. All of these divisions remain in place today, and the hawthorn and blackthorn growing thickly along the fences now mark out the old surveyed lines with a kind of unplanned permanence.

What is visible on the ground is modest: no bank survives above the surface, only the gently rounded rise itself, its sloping sides merging softly into the surrounding pasture. The Killeen River runs approximately 170 metres to the south. The paired enclosure to the east is a separate recorded monument, and together the two earthworks form a small, quietly legible complex that centuries of agricultural reorganisation have obscured but not quite erased.
