The site is the ghost of an enclosure, a roughly subrectangular arrangement of bank and fosse (the fosse being a defensive or boundary ditch, typically accompanying an earthen bank) that has been so thoroughly levelled over the centuries that it leaves no visible trace at ground level. What remains is the buried logic of the original construction, which in dry summers reveals itself in aerial photographs as differential crop growth, the buried ditches retaining more moisture and producing lusher, taller vegetation in patterns that echo the original shape.

The enclosure has three sides that can be traced with some confidence from aerial photography. The western side runs straight, the northern side curves slightly, and together they suggest a subrectangular plan that once defined a meaningful space, perhaps a farmstead, a ceremonial area, or a stock enclosure, though the evidence does not permit a firm identification. The southern side has been truncated by, or absorbed into, a later field boundary, one of countless instances across Ireland where medieval or early modern farming reorganised the landscape without any awareness of what lay beneath. The eastern side is the most ambiguous, described as indistinct, with the possibility that it represents not a collapsed wall or bank but an original entrance gap.
