Cut into a west-north-west-facing slope, it forms a near-circle on the ground, roughly 16 metres from north to south and 14 metres from east to west, defined not by a raised bank but by a scarped edge, meaning the ground has been cut away rather than built up, leaving a scarp face about four metres wide and just 35 centimetres high. It is a subtle signature, the sort of shaping of land that asks you to wonder who made it, and why.

Enclosures of this kind are common enough across the Irish countryside, though their individual histories are rarely straightforward. They may represent the remains of a ringfort, which was a circular enclosed farmstead typical of the early medieval period, roughly the fifth to twelfth centuries, or they may be something older or altogether different in function. What is recorded here, compiled by Denis Power and uploaded to the national record in November 2013, is a site defined primarily by its surviving earthwork edge, with a level interior now grazed by cattle. A second enclosure, catalogued separately as LI023-018, lies immediately to the south, which raises the possibility that the two features were related in some way, perhaps part of a wider settlement arrangement, though the record does not draw that conclusion directly.

The interior, while level, has been disturbed by a cattle path running east to west across the southern sector, which is worth knowing before you arrive expecting an untouched surface. The site sits in working farmland, so access would require permission from the landowner. There are no visitor facilities and no signage. What you are looking for, once on the slope, is the slight but distinct change in ground level that marks the scarped edge, most legible when the light is low and raking, which makes early morning or late afternoon visits in autumn or winter considerably more rewarding than a midday visit in summer. The companion enclosure to the south is worth seeking out at the same time, as the two together give a better sense of how this modest corner of County Limerick was once organised.
