That absence is a small puzzle. The enclosure was already there, incorporated into the working landscape, and yet the surveyors of the 1830s left no mark of it. Whether they considered it unremarkable, or simply part of the field boundary network rather than a feature in its own right, is impossible to say now.

The enclosure measures roughly 40 metres north to south and 35 metres east to west at its outer limits, defined by a stone wall with some earth packed into it, standing between 0.8 and 1.1 metres high and up to 1.4 metres wide. Enclosures of this kind are a familiar presence in the Irish countryside, ranging from early medieval ringforts used as defended farmsteads to later field enclosures of less certain purpose, and this one sits somewhere in that ambiguous territory. The original entrance appears to have been at the southwest, where two large stones flank the gap at the wall terminals, a detail that gives the opening a deliberate, constructed quality. Inside, in the northwest quadrant, there is a rectangular house site measuring about 11.4 metres by 6.1 metres, though this is thought to be possibly modern rather than ancient. More intriguing is a semicircular enclosure defined by a low stone wall attached to the inside of the main bank at the south, a feature within a feature whose function is not recorded.

The ridge position gives the site long views westward, which may or may not have been part of its original purpose. The layers here are genuinely difficult to unpick: an enclosure of uncertain date, absorbed into a field system of uncertain age, with an interior structure that might be recent and a secondary enclosure that raises more questions than it answers.
