It does not announce itself with stonework or raised earthworks; instead it appears only as a cropmark, the kind of trace that becomes legible from altitude when differential moisture and nutrients in the ground cause crops above a buried feature to grow at a slightly different rate than the surrounding plants. Satellite imagery captured in July 2018 is what finally brought this particular enclosure to light, revealing an irregular oval roughly 45 metres across on its north-east to south-west axis and around 60 metres on its north-west to south-east axis.

The site was identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère, whose scrutiny of aerial and satellite imagery has made him a reliable spotter of such buried features. What function the enclosure originally served is not recorded, though oval or roughly circular enclosures of this kind in the Irish landscape are frequently associated with early settlement, ranging from prehistoric farmsteads to early medieval ringforts, the latter being the single most common monument type found across the Irish countryside. Intriguingly, a separate enclosure already known to the record lies approximately 200 metres to the west-north-west, which raises the possibility that the two features formed part of a broader pattern of activity in the locality, though the relationship between them remains unexamined.
