The site is enclosed by an earthen bank rising to about two and a half metres, forming a rough bowl shape measuring roughly 24 metres north to south and 29 metres east to west. What makes it quietly odd is the absence of any identifiable entrance. Most enclosures of this kind, whether used for settlement, livestock, or ceremonial purposes in early medieval Ireland, show at least some trace of where people or animals passed through. Here, there is none.

The enclosure sits in ordinary working farmland, and the landscape has continued to press in around it over the centuries. Stone field fences cut across the northeastern section of the bank, and the interior still contains the remains of an earlier stone field boundary, suggesting the area has been divided and reorganised by successive generations of farmers without entirely erasing what was already there. The survey of the Ballinrobe district and the shores of Lough Mask and Lough Carra, compiled by D. Lavelle in 1994, recorded the site among the archaeological features of the region, though it offered no firm interpretation of its original function or date. That ambiguity is itself part of what the place represents: an earthwork substantial enough to have survived in recognisable form, yet just opaque enough that its purpose remains open.
