It is the kind of place that rewards close attention rather than a casual glance, because what it represents is not immediately obvious from the surrounding fields.

The site is a subcircular enclosure, a roughly circular earthwork of the kind found across Ireland in considerable numbers, most often associated with early medieval settlement. This one measures approximately 18.5 metres in internal diameter, which places it at the smaller end of the scale. An earthen bank, about three metres wide and less than a metre high on either face, defines the perimeter from the north, running eastward and around to the south. From there, rather than continuing as a built bank, the boundary transitions into a natural or adapted scarp, a sloped edge in the ground, running around to the west-northwest. A wide gap opens between the west-northwest and the north, where any original entrance or later disturbance has left the circuit incomplete. The interior sits slightly lower than the surrounding field, a detail that often reflects centuries of ploughing and soil movement around a protected area. The enclosure was noted by Holt in 1911, listed as number 20 in a catalogue of local earthworks, and described then much as it appears today.
