The shape, roughly 20 metres east to west and 25 metres north to south, suggests that an original circular enclosure was extended southward at some point, producing the slightly irregular outline visible today. That kind of modification is easy to miss when you are standing inside a feature whose defining banks have been worn down to less than a metre in height, but the geometry quietly records a change of mind, or a change of need, made at some point in the past.

Enclosures of this type are common across Ireland and can date from the prehistoric period through to the early medieval, often serving as farmsteads, cattle enclosures, or places of local significance. What makes this particular example more layered is the presence of a burial ground occupying the southern half of the interior, the very portion that appears to have been added on. The northern half of the enclosure slopes gently southward, while the southern section is level and described as more overgrown, a distinction that hints at different histories for the two halves. The bank survives best on the western and north-eastern sides, rising to around 0.8 metres, while to the north-east a scarp, essentially a steep natural or cut slope in the ground, reaches 1.1 metres. Together these remnants give the enclosure just enough presence to read as a deliberate boundary rather than a trick of the terrain.
