It is only when you begin to read the ground carefully that the shape reveals itself: a roughly rectangular area, approximately 35 metres from north to south and nearly 58 metres from east to west, defined by an eroded bank that has been softened by centuries of weather and grazing. On the eastern side, where it is best preserved, the bank still rises to about 1.3 metres on the outside face, dropping to around 0.4 metres internally. A gap of just over six metres in that same eastern stretch appears to be a relatively recent intrusion, probably opened for agricultural access.

Enclosures of this kind, earthworks defined by a raised bank rather than stone walling, are a recurring feature of the Irish rural landscape, and they can date to almost any period from the early medieval onwards. What makes this particular example worth attention is its relationship to a neighbouring site immediately to the south. When Denis Power compiled the record, uploaded to the national monuments database in August 2011, he noted that the first edition Ordnance Survey six-inch map, surveyed in the nineteenth century, shows the two enclosures appearing to be co-joined, sharing a boundary or abutting one another in a way that suggests they may have functioned together. That kind of pairing is not uncommon in the archaeological record, where an enclosure might have served a domestic or agricultural purpose alongside a nearby feature serving another, but the relationship here remains unresolved.

The site sits in pasture with an open aspect northward over a valley, which means visibility across the surrounding landscape is good even if the earthwork itself sits quietly in the grass. There are no formal markers or signposted access. The eastern bank section is the clearest point of reference for anyone trying to read the ground, and the overall rectangular outline is most legible from a slight elevation. Because the bank is low and eroded, the enclosure is easier to read in winter or early spring, when grass growth is minimal and low-angle light casts shadows that pick out subtle surface changes.
