It measures roughly thirty metres across, and its boundary is nothing more dramatic than a slight scarp, a low earthen edge barely twenty centimetres high, the kind of feature that a casual walker might step across without noticing. What makes it worth attention is precisely that quality of near-invisibility, the way something clearly deliberate has been worn almost flat by centuries of use, weather, and agricultural reclamation.

The enclosure sits on a small natural shelf at the base of an east-facing slope, where the ground drops away in most directions, most steeply to the east. It forms part of a wider field system in the area, suggesting that whoever used this landscape did so extensively and over a long period. The feature was significant enough to be recorded, with hachures indicating earthworks, on the 1916 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map, which means it was still legible to surveyors a century ago. By the time satellite imagery captured the site between 2011 and 2013, the scarp was only faintly traceable. Circular enclosures of this kind are a common feature of the Irish countryside, ranging from prehistoric ring-forts, which served as farmsteads enclosed for security, to later ecclesiastical or agricultural boundaries, and without excavation it is rarely possible to say which category any given example belongs to. This one has not, as far as the available record shows, been excavated or closely investigated.
