The enclosure measures roughly 90 metres by 50 metres, and what makes it quietly arresting is that it was not recorded by any ground survey but spotted in an aerial photograph taken as part of the Bruff Survey, catalogued as Map 23, Bruff 8.1 and 8.2. From that elevated vantage point, the cropmarks and earthworks resolved into something coherent: a ditched enclosure with a substantial ditch running along its north-western, northern, and eastern sides, and the suggestion of an internal bank just visible within.

The site was described and assessed by Doody in 2008, who noted that the morphology, the overall shape and the manner in which the ditch was constructed, points toward a possible Bronze Age date, placing its origins somewhere in the broad sweep between roughly 2500 and 500 BC. Ditched enclosures of this kind are not uncommon across the Irish midlands and south, though their function varied considerably; some served as ceremonial or ritual spaces, others as settlement boundaries, and many remain difficult to categorise without excavation. The oval form here, combined with the positioning of the ditch on specific sides rather than uniformly around the perimeter, is what drew Doody's attention as a morphological indicator of age. The record was compiled by Denis Power and uploaded to the survey database in November 2013.

Because the site was identified through aerial photography rather than fieldwork, there is no guarantee that obvious surface features survive at ground level. Visitors to the broader Cloghaderreen area in County Limerick may find little more than gently undulating pasture, and the enclosure's outline may only be legible in certain light conditions or during dry summers when cropmarks tend to emerge most clearly. The Bruff region of County Limerick has a reasonable density of prehistoric and early medieval sites, so the enclosure sits within a landscape that repays slow, attentive looking rather than a single focused visit.
