The enclosure is modest in every dimension, roughly twelve and a half metres north to south and eleven and a half metres east to west, and the bank barely rises to hip height. The largest of the interior stones stands only a little over half a metre tall. Nothing about it announces itself, and that reticence is part of what makes it quietly arresting.

The site may be the same burial ground and associated church recorded by Bowman in 1934, who noted a circular enclosure in this townland measuring some twenty-eight yards in diameter, its surrounding fence already levelled by that point. The rough correspondence in size, the shared townland of Cloghvoula, and the circular or near-circular form all suggest a connection, though the identification is not certain. Enclosures of this general type, defined by a low earthen or stone bank and containing markers thought to indicate graves, are often associated with early ecclesiastical use in Ireland, sometimes predating the formal parish system by many centuries. About seventy-five metres to the north-east lies a separate stone row, a prehistoric alignment of upright stones that suggests the area carried significance well before any Christian use. The bog has preserved the bank under layers of peat, which is both what obscures the site and what has kept it from disappearing entirely.
