At roughly 127 metres in diameter, it is a substantial feature, though you would need a practised eye to read it clearly today. The enclosure is defined by a low earthen bank with an external fosse, a shallow ditch running alongside the bank, about four metres wide, and both have suffered considerably over time. Modern field boundaries cut across the monument at its northern and southern points, and another overlies the bank along the western to northern arc, leaving the original form fragmentary and interrupted.

Ecclesiastical enclosures of this kind are the footprints of early medieval monastic or church communities, often circular in plan and demarcating sacred ground from the secular world beyond. The broken bullaun found in the north-western quadrant gives this site a particular character. A bullaun is a stone, usually boulder-sized, with one or more cup-shaped hollows ground or worn into its surface; such stones are commonly associated with early Christian sites in Ireland, where they may have served liturgical, votive, or practical functions, and their presence here reinforces the religious reading of the enclosure. Also associated with the site is a cillin or children's burial ground, recorded separately in the local monuments record. Roughly 100 metres to the north-east, a ringfort sits in the same landscape, a reminder that secular and sacred settlement often occupied the same ground in early medieval Ireland, their communities overlapping in ways that are difficult to disentangle now. The site was noted by Claffey in 1983 and later included in the published Archaeological Inventory of County Galway, where its condition was already described as poor.
