It is easy to walk past without registering what it is. The ground drops steeply to the east toward the valley floor, while to the west the land levels out before rising again in a gentle slope. This positioning, right at the ridge line, is one of the more telling things about the site: whoever shaped this enclosure chose their ground carefully.

An enclosure of this kind, a roughly circular area defined by a raised earthen bank, is a common enough monument type in the Irish landscape, associated variously with settlement, agriculture, or ritual use across a broad sweep of prehistory and the early medieval period. This one measured approximately thirty metres in diameter when it was recorded on the first edition Ordnance Survey six-inch map in 1839. What makes its current condition particularly interesting is that a townland boundary, one of those ancient administrative lines that bisects the Irish countryside, runs north to south directly through the western quadrant of the monument. A cattle track has compounded the damage in the same area, and the bank on that western side has been levelled almost entirely. The eastern portion survives more intact, enclosing an area roughly twenty metres by eighteen metres, with a bank that still stands between half a metre and a metre in height on its interior face. The interior itself is not flat ground but a deliberate terrace, cut back into the natural slope of the hill, which suggests some care was taken in its original construction.
