It is not the kind of structure that announces itself. Partially collapsed, heavily overgrown, and sitting quietly within a working field system, it is easy to walk past without registering that the wall you are looking at is older than the landscape it now blends into.

The enclosure measures roughly twenty metres across its northeast-to-southwest axis, with a straight northeastern side running for twenty-one metres. The surviving wall stands to about 0.7 metres in height and 0.8 metres in thickness, the kind of modest drystone construction, stone laid without mortar, that can be found across the Irish countryside in various states of decay. What distinguishes this one is its form. D-shaped enclosures of this kind are broadly associated with early medieval settlement in Ireland, though without excavation it is difficult to say anything more precise about date or function. The straight northeastern side has been absorbed into a later field boundary, which is itself telling: the enclosure was already old enough, and solid enough, to be worth incorporating when the surrounding landscape was reorganised. The interior slopes down toward the southwest and is now so thickly overgrown that the ground beneath is largely hidden from view.
