The enclosure, recorded under the Sites and Monuments Register as LI049-084----, is easy to miss precisely because the fields around it have been tidied and turned over so many times. What persists is a raised, oval-shaped area defined by a scarp, the kind of earthwork that speaks to early settlement or enclosure, though the specific origins here remain unconfirmed. Its survival is partly accidental, partly the result of the ground itself resisting full assimilation into the working farmland that surrounds it.

The earliest reliable record of the feature appears on the Ordnance Survey six-inch map of 1840, where it is depicted as a raised oval defined by its scarped edge. By the time the more detailed twenty-five inch edition was published in 1897, surveyors recorded an oval enclosed by a bank, measuring approximately 25 metres north to south and 16 metres northeast to southwest. A field boundary running north to south, which post-dates 1700, cuts across the enclosure at both its southern and northern ends, and over time further boundaries have been incorporated along the northwestern, northern, eastern, and southern edges. This layering of old monument and later agricultural organisation is typical of the Irish countryside, where new land divisions have a habit of borrowing the lines of whatever came before. The enclosure sits roughly 80 metres east of the townland boundary with Castlecreagh, placing it close to an administrative edge that is itself ancient.

The site lies in reclaimed pasture and, as orthoimages captured between 2011 and 2013 confirm, it remains overgrown rather than cleared. That overgrowth is in some ways what preserves it; the bank and scarp are visible on aerial imagery precisely because the vegetation has not been levelled. A visitor approaching from the ground would need to know where to look, as there are no markers and the surrounding fields offer little in the way of obvious orientation. The townland boundary with Castlecreagh provides a useful bearing, with the enclosure sitting 150 metres to the north of a second recorded feature in the same area. Late summer or early autumn, when grass growth slows and the ground is firmer, tends to make earthwork features more legible at eye level, the slight change in elevation casting shadows that flatten out in full summer growth.
