It measures roughly 23 metres northeast to southwest and 17.5 metres northwest to southeast, modest dimensions that would make it easy to walk past without registering. What catches the attention, once you know to look, is the way it holds its shape: a scarp, rising between 0.2 and 0.65 metres, curves around its northeastern to western edge, with the traces of a collapsed stone wall still visible along part of the arc. At the southwest, a gap of about 2.3 metres in the scarp may mark an original entrance.

Enclosures of this kind are a recurring feature of the Irish countryside, typically interpreted as the remains of early medieval farmsteads, though dating without excavation is rarely straightforward. This one adds a particular layer of ambiguity. The straight northwestern side is not an ancient feature at all but a modern field boundary, which has effectively absorbed that portion of the enclosure into the working geometry of the present landscape. The collapsed wall along the southeastern arc poses its own puzzle: it may be original to the enclosure, or it may be a remnant of a later field wall that was recorded on both the 1897 Ordnance Survey 25-inch plan and the 1920 edition of the 6-inch map, running across the southeastern edge. That later wall, in other words, may have borrowed the enclosure's edge as a convenient boundary, and the two are now difficult to disentangle. Archaeological testing carried out around 30 metres to the east-southeast, in advance of house construction, produced no finds or features, leaving the enclosure's date and purpose as open questions.
