The drystone wall is dilapidated, the interior is flat, and the most conspicuous feature is a low scatter of stones that probably marks the footings of an old hay stand. Yet the modern enclosure, built against a Congested Districts Board boundary wall that forms its straight side, has quietly borrowed the line of something much older. Beneath the curving wall, a low bank of loose stone, roughly half a metre high and nearly four metres wide in places, traces the arc of an earlier oval enclosure with a diameter of around 20 metres. The modern farmer who shaped this field, whether consciously or not, was following a curve that had already been there for a very long time.

The site sits at the northern edge of a small waterlogged basin below the Capnagower Road, with the ground draining away eastward toward Kinnacorra Point. What makes its immediate surroundings particularly striking is the concentration of fulachtaí fia clustered within 25 metres of it on the fringes of the same basin. Fulachtaí fia are the remains of ancient burnt mounds, typically Bronze Age cooking or heating sites, recognised by their characteristic horseshoe-shaped spreads of fire-cracked stone and charcoal, usually found near water. Four of them sit in close proximity here, one only 4 metres to the south-east, another just 7.6 metres to the south. A circular house site lies 20 metres to the north-east. The density of activity around this modest depression of wet ground suggests the basin drew people back repeatedly over a long span of time, the older oval enclosure being only the most legible surviving trace of that repeated return. The revetment stones still visible to the north-east of the boundary wall hint at how the original structure was built, with stones laid against an earthen bank to retain and stabilise it.
