It is modest in scale, roughly 7.8 metres east to west and 6 metres north to south, with walls that survive to no more than a metre in height and less than a metre wide. What makes it quietly interesting is the evidence that the builders understood their landscape: along the northern and western sides, they cut into the natural slope to level the interior, saving effort and making the most of the elevated position.

The enclosure is sub-circular in shape, a form common to early medieval Ireland, where such structures served a range of purposes from small farmsteads to stock enclosures. Here, though, the picture is more complex than a single structure suggests. Earthworks visible on the eastern side may represent the buried footprint of an earlier and larger enclosure beneath the turf, hinting at a longer history of use on this spot. The site is also woven into a broader pattern of field boundaries: one length of walling runs approximately 20 metres to the west, another runs roughly 15 metres to the east before continuing northward along the riverbank, and a third stretch of about 20 metres, built of contiguously set stones and aligned northwest to southeast, lies some 15 metres to the north. A second enclosure sits roughly 40 metres to the northeast. Taken together, these features suggest not an isolated structure but a working landscape, organised and maintained over time by people who knew this valley well.
