There is nothing left to see at ground level; the earthwork has been completely levelled, most likely by centuries of ploughing. What survives exists not as a physical feature but as a ghostly outline detectable only from above, where differences in crop growth betray the presence of a buried fosse, the defensive ditch that once ringed the enclosure's perimeter.

The site was documented as early as the first edition six-inch Ordnance Survey map of 1839, which recorded the enclosure when it still retained enough form to be mapped. It appeared again on the 1900 revision, suggesting that some trace remained visible above ground into the late nineteenth century. Circular enclosures of this kind are among the most common monument types in the Irish countryside, often interpreted as the remains of a ringfort, a type of enclosed farmstead used predominantly in the early medieval period between roughly the sixth and twelfth centuries. At 38 metres in diameter, this example falls within the typical size range for such sites. Whether it served a domestic, agricultural, or more defensive purpose is impossible to say without excavation, and the levelling of the monument has removed much of the evidence that might once have answered that question.

The cropmark that preserves this enclosure's outline forms when the buried fosse, which would have been cut into the subsoil, retains more moisture than the surrounding ground. During dry spells, crops rooted above the ditch stay greener and grow taller for longer, tracing its arc in the field. It is the kind of detail only visible from aerial photographs or satellite imagery, making a monument that is entirely absent to a walker in the field surprisingly legible when seen from a different angle entirely.
