The interior of this roughly circular enclosure, about 27 metres across, lies lower than the surrounding land and collects water, leaving it persistently waterlogged even when everything around it is dry. It is the kind of feature that registers as an anomaly before you quite understand why.

The enclosure is defined by a low earthen bank, standing only about 0.2 metres high, with an external fosse, the ditch that typically runs outside such an earthwork, surviving on the southern and eastern sides. That fosse is around 2 metres wide and 0.3 metres deep where it remains intact. Elsewhere it has not fared as well. Modern field boundaries cut across it on the south-west to west and again on the north-east to south-east, trimming the monument down to what survives today. At the eastern edge, a rectangular area roughly 5 metres by 5 metres has been cut into the site at some point, interrupting its outline. Earthen enclosures of this general type are among the most common archaeological features in the Irish landscape, thought to date broadly from the early medieval period, though without excavation the precise date and function of any individual example remains open. They served a range of purposes, from settlement and farming enclosures to ritual or boundary uses.

The site sits in level ground, which makes it relatively easy to read once you are standing near it, though the low profile of the bank means it can be hard to spot from a distance. The waterlogged interior is the most immediate visual clue that something is there. Because the fosse has been truncated in several places by field boundaries, the full circuit is not visible, and the eastern cut further disrupts the sense of an original outline. Those visiting in wetter months will find the interior waterlogging most pronounced, which actually helps define the feature against the surrounding dry pasture. As with most earthworks in agricultural land, access depends on private landowner permission, and care should be taken around the surviving bank and fosse margins.
