The site does not survive as an upstanding earthwork. Instead, it belongs to a category of monument known as a cropmark, where buried features, a filled ditch or a compacted bank, cause the vegetation or crops above them to grow at subtly different rates, creating patterns that become visible in aerial or satellite photography, particularly during dry summers when stress on the plants is greatest.

The enclosure sits on a gentle south-east-facing slope, and its outline emerged from Google Earth imagery captured in the summer of 2018, on dates in late June and mid-July. What the images reveal is a subcircular shape measuring roughly thirty metres on its north-east to south-west axis and around twenty-five metres on the north-west to south-east axis. Surrounding it is a wide fosse, the term for a ditch dug as part of a defensive or boundary perimeter, running somewhere between three and five metres across. A possible entrance, approximately three metres wide, appears to sit at the northern side. The site was first reported by Simon Dowling, and the cropmark analysis shows that later field boundaries have not been kind to the monument: a field bank running north-east to south-west cuts through the enclosure's perimeter at the north-east, and a second bank overlies it at the south-east, meaning centuries of agricultural reorganisation have quietly carved through whatever once stood here. Enclosures of this general type, subcircular and defined by a substantial ditch, are found widely across Ireland and can date to anywhere from the Bronze Age through to the early medieval period, though without excavation the date and function of this particular example remain unknown.
