Measuring roughly 21 metres north to south and 19 metres east to west internally, it sits quietly beneath the tree cover, its interior slightly bowl-shaped in a way that feels deliberate rather than accidental. Enclosures of this type, roughly circular or oval earthworks defined by a bank and sometimes stone walling, are among the most common early medieval monument types in Ireland, often associated with settlement or agricultural use, though their precise function varies considerably from site to site.

The structure is defined by two distinct elements that together form its roughly continuous perimeter. Along the northern and eastern arc, a bank of earth and stone survives to an internal height of between 0.4 and 1 metre, with the bank itself varying in width from 1.8 to 4.5 metres. The western and north-western section is instead formed by stone walling, still standing to an internal height of 1.4 metres in places, though much of its outer face has been reduced to near ground level. A gap on the south-south-west side, just 1.2 metres wide, does not appear to be an original entrance. What complicates the picture further is the evidence of later activity layered on top of the earlier structure: a collapsed wall overlies the enclosing bank at several points, and a later field wall running east to west across the northern interior may actually be founded on the line of the earlier enclosure wall, suggesting the boundary was reused or respected long after its original purpose had been forgotten. The site appears on the first edition Ordnance Survey six-inch map of 1842 and is hachured on the later Cassini edition of 1920, indicating it was a visible and mappable feature even then.
