What makes it quietly puzzling is the absence of any recognisable entrance. Whoever built this enclosure either disguised the way in, or time has simply erased it along with whatever activity once took place inside.

The enclosure measures roughly 50 metres east to west and 34 metres north to south, with a denuded bank, meaning one that has been significantly reduced by weathering and agricultural activity, reaching about 0.6 metres in height on both its interior and exterior faces and spanning around 3.5 metres in width. Beyond the bank, faint traces of an external fosse survive; a fosse being a defensive or boundary ditch dug to accompany an earthwork. Embanked enclosures of this kind are found across Ireland and were used for a range of purposes over a long stretch of prehistory and early medieval times, from settlement and stock management to ritual or funerary use. Without excavation, the specific function and date of this particular example remain open questions.
