From aerial imagery taken in 1995 it reads as a roughly rectangular form in the corner of a field, about 26 metres by 23 metres. Walk the ground and the picture shifts slightly: the shape resolves into something more D-shaped, its eastern side defined by a low bank just 30 centimetres high on the outside, its southern boundary trailing off into a scarcely perceptible scarp. Encircling the whole thing is a fosse, a shallow ditch, now overgrown with rushes and reeds, running between two and a half and nearly three metres wide.

Enclosures of this general type are scattered across the Irish landscape, some associated with early medieval settlement, others with later agricultural or pastoral use. Without excavation it is rarely possible to say with confidence what purpose a particular example served or when it was constructed. What makes this one quietly interesting is how little remains visible at ground level, the interior height of the eastern bank measuring only a tenth of a metre, yet how clearly the full plan appears when viewed from above. The fosse especially, waterlogged enough to sustain rushes and reeds, preserves the outline in a way that the eroded earthworks alone no longer can. The plantation timber surrounding the site has likely accelerated that erosion while simultaneously protecting the area from more intensive agricultural pressure.
