The earthen bank defining it is barely half a metre high on either face and only a metre or so wide, and survives clearly only along its northern side. What survives is irregular in shape, poorly preserved, and accompanied by a quarry and the probable remains of a lime kiln to the west. A lime kiln is a simple stone or earthen structure used to burn limestone and produce quicklime, most often for agricultural or building purposes, and their presence near nineteenth-century farmsteads is common across rural Ireland.

The enclosure sits on a slight natural elevation, modest enough that it would pass unnoticed without deliberate attention. Wall-footings visible at the south-western edge correspond to a building recorded on the first-edition Ordnance Survey six-inch map, which was surveyed in the 1830s and 1840s and represents one of the earliest systematic mappings of the Irish countryside. The working interpretation is that the enclosure was associated with that now-vanished house and is itself a nineteenth-century feature rather than a remnant of an earlier settlement. That association with a domestic building, combined with the adjacent quarry and possible lime kiln, suggests a working farmstead of some kind, its boundaries marked out in earth rather than stone.
