No obvious earthwork marks the spot today; what survives is a cropmark or soil shadow, the kind of faint trace that only betrays itself under the right conditions of light and altitude. A drainage ditch cuts across the site at the east, and a field boundary interrupts it at the south-east, meaning the original form has been further obscured by centuries of agricultural management.

The surrounding landscape gives some context to the difficulty of reading this site. The first-edition Ordnance Survey six-inch map, produced in 1838, records the area as poorly drained land, suggesting that this corner of Westmeath spent long periods waterlogged before later drainage works transformed it into the pasture it is today. That reclamation, while making the land agriculturally useful, also buried or degraded whatever earthwork once defined the enclosure. Circular enclosures of this kind are a common but varied feature of the Irish landscape; they range from the ringforts, or raths, that served as enclosed farmsteads from the early medieval period, to earlier ceremonial or funerary monuments. Without excavation it is not possible to say which category this one belongs to. What is clear is that it survived long enough to leave a legible mark in the soil, visible in aerial photography taken by Leo Swan, and traceable still in more recent satellite imagery, with the Riverstown River running roughly 230 metres to the east.
