Roughly eleven metres across at its widest point, the enclosure is defined not by standing stone or dramatic earthwork but by a low, grassed-over wall, the kind of feature that is easy to walk past without noticing, and easier still to mistake for a natural rise in the ground.

What gives the site its particular interest is its setting within a large multiperiod field system, meaning a landscape where boundaries, enclosures, and divisions accumulated across different eras rather than being laid out at any single moment. The slope itself is semi-karst, a terrain type common in Clare where the underlying limestone fractures and weathers into an irregular surface, often with thin soils and outcrops breaking through the rough pasture. Enclosures of this kind, small and oval, appear across Ireland in contexts ranging from early medieval settlement to agricultural use of various periods, though without excavation it is rarely possible to say which applies. This one was noted by Conn Herriott and is visible on aerial imagery from between 2012 and 2018, which is often how such low-profile features are confirmed; the slight difference in vegetation growth over a buried or collapsed wall can show up from above when it is invisible at ground level.
