The enclosure measures roughly 70 metres north to south and 58 metres east to west, its perimeter formed from a combination of stone-faced earthen bank and, in places, simple earth and stone or stone alone. What makes it quietly odd is the number of deliberate openings: five separate breaks in the bank, oriented to the northeast, south-southeast, south-southwest, west-northwest, and northwest, each one giving onto an adjoining field. The enclosure has been absorbed into the working landscape so thoroughly that its ancient boundaries now function as field boundaries, its prehistoric logic repurposed for entirely practical ends.

The site was already being mapped in 1842, when the Ordnance Survey recorded it on their first six-inch series as a hachured oval, the standard cartographic shorthand for an earthwork of this kind. It reappears on the 1904 and 1938 editions of the same mapping, suggesting the bank has remained visible and reasonably intact across nearly two centuries of observation. The interior slopes gently downhill toward the southwest, and in that southwest quadrant there is a possible souterrain, an underground stone-lined passage or chamber of the kind commonly associated with early medieval settlement in Ireland, typically used for storage or, in some interpretations, as a place of refuge. Its presence, if confirmed, would point toward the enclosure functioning as a domestic or agricultural site rather than a purely ceremonial one, though the two purposes were rarely so neatly separated in early medieval Ireland.
