The enclosure measures roughly 44 metres east to west and 33.5 metres north to south, and what defines it is not a wall or bank but a flat-bottomed fosse, a type of defensive ditch, nearly six metres wide and still surviving to a depth of around 0.7 metres. No causeway crosses it, no raised bank lines its inner edge, which makes the question of how, and how formally, people moved in and out of this space genuinely open.

What complicates the picture is what occupies the southern quadrant of the enclosure. A tower house stands there, along with what may be a bawn, the term for a walled or enclosed yard that typically surrounded an Irish tower house, providing a defended space for livestock and household activity. The possible doorway in the south wall of the bawn appears to align with traces of an entrance through the enclosure itself, hinting at a relationship between the two features, though whether the enclosure predates the tower house, was adapted to accommodate it, or was constructed alongside it remains unclear. Tower houses of this type were built widely across Ireland from the later medieval period onward, and their association with earlier or contemporary enclosures is not unusual, but the absence of a bank here gives this site a slightly ambiguous character that sets it apart from more conventional examples.
