From above, or on a detailed map, the shape is clear enough: an enclosure roughly thirty metres across north to south and thirty-five east to west, ringed by a waterlogged fosse two to five metres wide. A fosse is simply a ditch, often dug to define, defend, or ritually separate an enclosed space, and the one here has held its water, which gives the monument a quietly saturated, half-submerged character that distinguishes it from the dry pasture around it.

Three field boundaries converge on the monument from different directions, one running north to south into the northern sector, one running northeast to southwest into the northeast, and a third coming in roughly east to west from the south. This convergence is not unusual for ancient enclosures in Ireland; over centuries, farmers working around a feature they could not easily plough simply incorporated it into their field systems, letting boundaries bend and terminate at its edge. The enclosure itself is now overgrown, its interior swallowed by trees and scrub, which makes it difficult to read the ground from within but also means the monument has been left largely undisturbed. Whether it was originally a ringfort, a ceremonial enclosure, or something else entirely is not recorded, and the site currently carries no further classification beyond the bare description of its form.
