The enclosure measures roughly 17 metres east to west and 14 metres north to south, defined by a broad, low bank of earth about five metres wide and less than half a metre high. That combination, wide but barely raised, gives it a tired, sunken look; the interior dips slightly inward, a shallow dish shape that hints at considerable age and gradual collapse. A line of granite boulders trails away to the southeast, possibly the remnant of a field wall, though whether it was original to the enclosure or added later is unclear.

What lifts this otherwise modest earthwork out of the ordinary is its immediate company. Just to the east-southeast stands a single standing stone, and to the northwest there is a stone pair, two upright stones set in deliberate relationship to one another. Stone pairs are relatively rare in the Irish archaeological record, and their purpose remains genuinely uncertain; some researchers associate them with ritual or ceremonial use, possibly connected to alignment or boundary marking. Whether the enclosure, the standing stone, and the stone pair were all part of a single contemporary arrangement, or accumulated over generations of use, is not known. But their proximity on this low ridge in west Galway suggests the spot held some significance for the people who shaped it, and that significance was returned to more than once.
