The enclosure measures roughly 36 metres north to south and 33 metres east to west, and while its profile is modest, its deliberate form is unmistakable to anyone who stops to look.

The bank itself, between one and a half and two and a half metres wide, retains traces of stone-facing on both its inner and outer sides, suggesting it was once a more substantial boundary than its current degraded state implies. An embanked enclosure of this kind is a broad category in Irish archaeology, used to describe a defined circular or oval area bounded by an earthen or stone bank, sometimes associated with settlement, ceremony, or landholding, though the precise function of any individual example is rarely certain. What makes this one quietly puzzling is the absence of any visible fosse, the ditch that typically accompanies such a bank and from which the upcast material was dug. Without it, the usual reading of construction sequence is harder to apply. There is also no identifiable entrance gap surviving in the perimeter. A separate field bank runs around the outside of the enclosure from the east-southeast to the west-southwest, at a distance of about five metres, its relationship to the enclosure unclear.

The ridge-top position is worth noting. High ground was chosen for many reasons in early Irish contexts, from visibility and defence to the demarcation of territorially significant places. Whether this enclosure was ever domestic, ceremonial, or purely a boundary feature, it holds its ground on that Wexford ridge without offering easy answers.
