It sits in ordinary pasture on a gently south-facing slope, and to the untrained eye it looks like little more than a slight depression in a field. But the geometry is deliberate: a ring barrow, which is a prehistoric funerary monument consisting of a roughly circular interior enclosed by a ditch and a low outer bank, built to mark or contain the remains of the dead. This one measures roughly 11.7 metres north to south and 12.2 metres east to west, making it a modest but clearly defined example of a monument type found across Ireland and Britain from the Bronze Age onwards.

The site at Enniscoush was recorded and compiled by Denis Power, with the record uploaded in August 2011. The monument's outer bank, which stands only about 0.2 metres high externally, is best preserved along its north-north-east to southern arc. A fosse, meaning a ditch, runs around the interior at a depth of around 0.25 metres and a width of 2.2 metres; the eastern to western stretch of this ditch is waterlogged, which likely accounts for much of its preservation. There is a gap in the bank on the northern side, roughly 2.4 metres wide, and from that point a shallow linear depression of the same width extends southward for approximately 18 metres into the interior. Whether that depression is a later feature, a pathway, or something related to the monument's original use is not recorded in the survey notes.

Accessing this kind of site requires a degree of patience and, ideally, a good map. The monument sits in agricultural land about 100 metres from the River Deel, so permission from the landowner would be the sensible first step before approaching. The interior is level and under pasture, which means there is little to see at ground level beyond the faint rise and fall of the bank and fosse. Visiting after a period of wet weather may actually help; the waterlogged eastern section of the ditch becomes more legible when full, and the subtle earthworks tend to show up better when the grass is short. A low-angle light, either in the early morning or late afternoon, can also help a visitor read the circular form against the slope.
