What makes it quietly odd is how little of it now registers as structure. A bank that once enclosed a roughly 43-metre circle has been worn or quarried down to something barely above ground level, its interior height a mere 20 centimetres in places, its presence announced more by a low scarp than by any standing earthwork.

The enclosure itself measures approximately 37 metres north to south and 34 metres east to west internally, with a bank base around five metres wide tapering to less than two metres at the top. Enclosures of this broad type, circular areas defined by a bank and sometimes a ditch, appear throughout Ireland in various forms and periods, from prehistoric ritual sites to early medieval settlements. Here, the bank survives only from the south-east around through the south to the west; elsewhere the line of the monument is traceable only as a scarp in the ground. A quarry cut into the southern quadrant of the enclosure, and another located immediately to the east, have compounded the damage, leaving the monument in a poorly preserved state despite its elevated and otherwise undisturbed-looking setting.
