The site is a small enclosure, roughly 18.7 metres east to west and 16.8 metres north to south, now so thickly tangled with trees and bramble that its shape is difficult to read from ground level. What makes it quietly unusual is its geometry: the inner bank appears to be rectangular in plan, while the outer bank follows a more subcircular outline. That combination is not the standard arrangement, and it suggests the site may have been adapted or added to over time rather than built all at once.

The enclosure sits about 80 metres to the east of a rath, the kind of circular earthwork, typically defined by a bank and ditch, that served as a farmstead or enclosed settlement during the early medieval period in Ireland. Having two such features in close proximity is not unheard of, but it raises questions about how they related to one another and which came first. The double-banked form of the smaller enclosure, with two earthen banks separated by an intervening fosse, that is, a ditch, gives it a more defensive or ceremonially bounded character than a simple ringfort. Whether it was a subsidiary enclosure to the nearby rath, an earlier or later feature on the same landscape, or something with a different function entirely remains unresolved.
