A roughly circular area, some twenty metres across, is defined not by a conventional earthen bank but by an exceptionally wide scarped edge, meaning the enclosure boundary is formed by cutting down into the slope rather than building upward, leaving a near-vertical outer face that stands 2.3 metres high and runs to sixteen metres in width. That is an unusual profile for any enclosure, and it gives the site a quality more like a sunken platform than a typical ringfort or field boundary.

The enclosure sits on a north-facing slope, now in pasture. A wall from an otherwise demolished house still runs along the base of the scarp between the north and north-east, a later intrusion that complicates any reading of the original form. A field drain cuts across the base of the scarp on the north-east to south-east arc, further interrupting the circuit. What draws attention almost as much as the enclosure itself is a large bank of earth running westward from the south-west corner of the scarp, twenty-five metres wide and 1.1 metres high. According to the record compiled by Denis Power and uploaded in August 2011, this bank may represent material that was dumped here when a nearby enclosure, recorded separately in the county's sites and monuments register, was levelled around 1975. If so, it is a quiet record of loss, one archaeological feature absorbing the spoil of another that was simply removed.

The site lies in open pasture, which means access depends on landowner permission, as is standard for most field monuments in Ireland. The north-facing aspect means it catches little direct sun, and the slope can be wet underfoot in most seasons. The most legible part of the monument is the scarped edge itself, which reads most clearly when seen from outside the enclosed area looking inward, where the full drop of the exterior face is apparent. The earthen bank to the west, though possibly no more than mid-twentieth-century dumped material, is substantial enough to notice and worth comparing to the main scarp as you move around the site.
