Subcircular in shape and measuring roughly 35 metres across, it survives today as little more than a slight scarp in the ground, a faint suggestion of a former bank to the south, and a short stretch of stone wall visible inside the south-western edge. Most people would walk across it without knowing it was there.

Enclosures of this kind are among the most common archaeological features in the Irish countryside. They are typically the remains of a rath or ringfort, a type of enclosed farmstead used from the early medieval period onwards, in which an earthen bank and ditch defined a domestic space for a family and their animals. What makes this example quietly interesting is how thoroughly the landscape has absorbed it. The northern and eastern sides have been folded into a townland boundary, those ancient administrative lines that so often preserve the ghost of an older feature simply by following its edge. The surviving stone wall at the south-west suggests the enclosure may once have had a more substantial internal structure, though the evidence is now too fragmentary to say much more.
