Measuring roughly six metres north to south and three and a half metres east to west, the enclosure is defined by a low earthen bank, modest in scale but precise in placement. What makes it quietly unusual is that relationship to its larger neighbour: built directly against the north-western corner of the moated site's outer bank, it reads less like an accident of the landscape and more like an intentional attachment, a secondary feature added with some purpose in mind.

Moated sites, common in medieval Ireland from roughly the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, were typically enclosed farmsteads or manorial complexes surrounded by a water-filled or wet ditch, often associated with Anglo-Norman settlement. The larger monument here, recorded separately, fits that broad category. The small rectangular enclosure alongside it is described as possibly associated with that moated site, which is the cautious language of archaeology when the relationship is strongly implied by physical proximity and alignment but cannot be confirmed with certainty. What the enclosure was used for, whether as a garden plot, a stock pen, or something more specialised, is not recorded. Its scale suggests something functional rather than defensive, though the earthen bank, however low, would have marked a boundary clearly enough.
