Roughly ten metres across its longest axis, it is enclosed partly by a wall of stone and clay, still standing to around 1.3 metres in places despite partial collapse, and partly by a grass-covered stony scarp on the other side. Two upright stones frame a narrow entrance on the east, less than a metre wide, and a second break opens at the south-east. It is a modest thing on the hillside, and that modesty is part of what makes it worth attention.

Enclosures of this kind are a common but poorly understood feature of the Irish rural landscape. The term covers a wide range of structures, from early medieval farmstead boundaries to small livestock pens of much more recent origin, and without excavation or associated finds it is rarely possible to say which is which. What is clear here is that whoever built it paid careful attention to the slope. The interior has been levelled by design: the southern portion is cut slightly into the hillside to compensate for the gradient, while the northern portion sits raised by around 0.4 metres, creating a flat usable surface within the oval. That kind of deliberate groundwork suggests the space mattered, whether for sheltering animals, for habitation, or for some agricultural purpose now difficult to recover.
