What was once an oval enclosure, measuring around 63 metres east to west, survives now only as a partial arc of earthen bank running from the south-west, around the west, and up to the north-west. The rest has gone, broken up by quarrying activity that ate away at the southern and south-eastern portions of the boundary. What remains is fragmentary enough that a person walking across the field might not register it at all.

Enclosures of this kind are among the most common archaeological features in the Irish landscape. They served a variety of functions across different periods, from ringforts used as enclosed farmsteads in the early medieval period to earlier ceremonial or funerary sites, and their oval or circular banks were typically built to define space, whether for livestock, habitation, or ritual purposes. Without excavation it is rarely possible to say with confidence what period a given enclosure belongs to, or what activity it once contained. This particular example is made harder to read by its poor state of preservation. The quarrying that removed much of the southern arc was not a recent act of carelessness but part of the longer, gradual process by which agricultural and extractive land use has worn away countless such sites across Ireland over many centuries.
