The lawn is level, well-tended, and entirely ordinary in appearance, save for a slight rise at its south-western edge. That gentle swell is about all that remains above the surface of a monument that once measured roughly 39 metres from north-west to south-east and 36 metres from north-east to south-west, a substantial subcircular earthwork that has been quietly swallowed by the domestic landscape around it.

The antiquarian Thomas Johnson Westropp, writing in 1908 to 1909, described the site as a levelled earthwork, suggesting it had already lost much of its definition by the early twentieth century. The 1840 Ordnance Survey map shows it clearly as a subcircular enclosure, and the later 25-inch OS map records its suboval outline abutting the settlement of Derrymore, the same boundaries that the present-day drystone wall follows along parts of the south-east, south-west, north-west, and northern edges. Such enclosures, broadly understood as ringforts or related early medieval settlement forms, were typically used as farmsteads or enclosed dwelling sites, though without excavation it is impossible to assign a precise function or date to this one. Archaeological testing carried out in 2002 on the plot immediately to the east, where a new house was built on the site of earlier structures, failed to turn up any archaeological material. The enclosure itself was not tested. What is notable is that it does not stand alone: two enclosures of comparable size lie within 200 metres to the north-east and east respectively, hinting at a cluster of related activity in this corner of Clare that the modern townland has largely absorbed without record.
