It is easy to walk past: the subrectangular boundary, roughly 20 metres long and 18 metres wide, survives only as a spread bank of earth and stone, and a later field wall has been driven straight through its southern side, the kind of agricultural indifference that has quietly erased countless early medieval sites across the west of Ireland.

What makes the place worth pausing over is the raised platform at its eastern end. A roughly square mound, about five metres across and a metre high, is held by local tradition to be the site of St Scáithin's oratory, an oratory in this context being a small private or monastic chapel, often no more than a single cell of unmortared stone. Scáithin is an obscure figure, and the enclosure itself is modest in scale, suggesting a minor hermitage or local devotional site rather than a substantial monastery. The setting reinforces that impression: the rise looks out over Loch Bó Finne to the north-east and the sea to the north, the kind of exposed, marginal position early Christian ascetics in Ireland were drawn to. Within the same enclosure there is also a cillin burial ground, a term for informal unconsecrated burial places, typically used for unbaptised infants and others excluded from churchyard burial, which speaks to the long, layered use of the site by local communities. A holy well lies approximately 150 metres to the south-west, completing an arrangement of features, enclosure, oratory site, burial ground, and well, that would have been entirely familiar in early medieval Connacht.
