A low bank of peat and stones, heather-covered and barely half a metre high, traces its perimeter. It is easy to miss, and for a long time cartographers did exactly that; it does not appear on the 1837 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map, meaning it passed unrecorded into the nineteenth century without remark.

What makes the enclosure quietly compelling is its company. At the north-western end of the site, a court tomb sits on a low rise. Court tombs are among the earliest megalithic monuments in Ireland, typically dating to the Neolithic period, and they take their name from the open forecourt at the entrance, thought to have been used for ritual before burial. A few metres to the south-east, an intermittent line of low stones connects this enclosure to what may be a stone circle, the two features separated by only around 35 metres. Whether the enclosure was built to contain or connect these monuments, or whether it predates or postdates them, remains an open question. The uneven ground inside it adds another layer of uncertainty; it may reflect earlier activity beneath the surface, or simply the natural irregularity of a boggy hillside.
