It goes by the local name Ard na Killeen, a name that quietly encodes its character: "ard" meaning a height, and "killeen" typically referring to a small church or burial ground, often one associated with unbaptised infants or early monastic use. The site measures approximately 108 metres east to west and 96 metres north to south, its boundary formed partly by a drystone wall running from the south-east around to the north-north-west, and partly by a natural or modified scarp that rises to 3.6 metres and completes the circuit. The bank itself is heavily overgrown with bushes, which gives the interior edge a thick, slightly untended character despite the surrounding farmland.

What makes the place quietly anomalous is the combination of features it brings together. Ecclesiastical enclosures of this kind, roughly circular in plan and often occupying elevated or commanding ground, are generally associated with early Christian monastic or church settlements in Ireland, predating the more formal parish structures that came later. They tend to follow the landscape rather than impose a rigid geometry on it, which is why the mix of built wall and natural scarp here is not unusual. More curious is the recovery of several pieces of iron slag from inside the enclosure. Slag is the waste material left over from iron-working, and its presence suggests some kind of metalworking activity took place within or near the site at some point, though whether this was connected to the ecclesiastical use of the space or represents a later, unrelated activity is not recorded. Adding further texture to the location is a ringfort, a type of circular earthwork farmstead common in early medieval Ireland, situated roughly 90 metres to the east. The two sites sitting in such close proximity, each with its own distinct function, suggest this particular plateau was a focus of activity over a considerable stretch of time.
