The enclosure measures roughly 74 metres north to south and 55 metres east to west, dimensions typical of the kind of oval or sub-circular enclosures that once surrounded early Irish churches and their associated cemeteries. When the Ordnance Survey mapped the area in 1840, the site was marked and labelled as a graveyard. Today, there are no visible headstones, no upright markers, nothing at the surface to confirm that reading. The boundary itself survives only partially: a low earthen bank, still measurable in the southern sector at around 3.1 metres across the crest and 5.5 metres at the base, though it has been worn down to little more than a scarp in the south-west. Along the western, northern, and eastern edges, the bank has been absorbed into a hedgerow, with a post-and-wire electric fence running along its inner face.

What little is known of the site's deeper history surfaced, quite literally, in 1973, when a farm worker ploughed an adjoining field for the first time. According to a 1982 unpublished account by Cahill, the ploughing turned up a considerable quantity of pottery and iron, the kind of material that typically accumulates around sites of sustained early medieval activity. A church is indicated in the eastern quadrant on more recent mapping, and within the enclosure interior there is a low mound with a notably high stone content, which may represent the collapsed remains of a structure, possibly that church. The combination of the enclosure shape, the graveyard label, the subsurface finds, and the stone mound points towards an early Christian foundation that has been quietly reverting to farmland for a very long time.
