The enclosure measures roughly 8.6 metres north to south and 5.6 metres east to west, defined by a grass-covered earthen bank with some stones still visible through the turf. What makes it quietly odd is the way its geometry shifts: the southern half has straight sides, while the northern half curves. The result is a subrectangular form that sits uneasily between the familiar ringfort, a roughly circular enclosure used as a defended farmstead in early medieval Ireland, and something less easily categorised.

The site carries a more unsettling layer of local knowledge as well. Writing in 1934, a researcher named Bowman recorded the oral tradition that burials took place here, a detail that shifts the enclosure's possible function considerably. Whether it served as a settlement, a burial ground, or both at different periods is not established, but the combination of an earthen boundary, an irregular plan, and folk memory of the dead places it within a broader class of Irish field monuments where the line between domestic and funerary use has always been permeable. The bank itself is low, standing only 0.3 metres on the interior and 0.6 metres on the exterior, which is slight for a defensive structure but consistent with an enclosure intended to mark or contain rather than to fortify.
