What looks at first glance like an uneven patch of ground, lumpy with stones and rock outcrop poking through the sod, is in fact a subcircular enclosure, nearly perfectly round at roughly 23 metres north to south and 22 metres east to west. The interior sits in a gentle depression, and the surrounding wall, though reduced to a sod-covered bank, still reads clearly in the terrain, its stones occasionally breaking the surface.

The enclosure itself is modest in its surviving dimensions. The inner face of the bank stands around 0.6 metres high, the outer face a more subdued 0.25 metres, with the bank spreading to nearly five metres in overall width at its base. Enclosures of this type, broadly circular or subcircular ringworks defined by an earthen or stone bank, are found across Ireland and are generally associated with early medieval settlement, though without excavation it is difficult to assign a precise date or function to any individual example. What makes this particular site more legible is the field system that surrounds it. A series of linear stone walls radiate outward from the enclosure at the north-east, south, west, and north-west, suggesting that whoever built and used this place also organised and managed the land around it in a deliberate, structured way. The enclosure and the field system appear to be related, the one at the centre and the other spreading outward like spokes from a hub.
