It is not a field boundary in the conventional sense, nor does it align with the orderly grid of walls that have since divided up the land. Measuring roughly 53 metres northwest to southeast and 49 metres northeast to southwest, it is irregular in plan, defined by a curving wall running from approximately west to northeast, and it reads most clearly not from the ground but from the air.

The site was identified through aerial imagery captured between 2013 and 2018, which revealed the outline of what may be an early enclosure, the kind of roughly circular or oval boundary that in Irish archaeology can indicate a former farmstead, a ceremonial space, or a settlement of considerable antiquity. Enclosures of this type, often built from dry stone or earthen banks, are found throughout Clare and the wider west of Ireland, where the thin soils and enduring stone have preserved traces that would long since have vanished elsewhere. What makes this one particularly telling is what has happened to it over time. Field walls running north to south cut across it at the northwest, southwest, northeast, and southeast corners, and a further east to west wall bisects its southern half entirely. The enclosure, in other words, has been systematically overwritten by later land division, its form surviving only as a ghost beneath the working geometry of the fields. The site was noted by Conn Herriott.

Because the enclosure is visible primarily on aerial imagery rather than as a substantial upstanding monument, a visitor on the ground would need to know exactly what to look for. The curving wall that defines it may read as little more than a slight undulation or a stretch of older stonework within what is otherwise a working pastoral landscape.
