At roughly thirty metres in diameter, it is not especially large, but its relationship with a neighbouring enclosure immediately to its east gives it an unusual character. The two share a fosse, a ditch that in this case runs from the south-west around through the west and north-west, some seven and a quarter metres wide and up to half a metre deep. The word fosse simply means a ditch dug to defend or demarcate, and here it performs that boundary function for both enclosures at once, suggesting they were either planned together or developed in close relationship with one another.

The enclosure itself is defined partly by an earthen scarp, a cut or eroded slope in the ground, running from the north-west around through the north and east to the south-west, and partly by a low bank on the south-west to north-west arc, roughly four and a quarter metres wide, standing about a metre high on its outer face and half a metre on the interior. At the south-west, where bank and scarp meet, a short stretch of bank about seven metres long extends outward toward the shared fosse and ends in a clear, deliberate terminus, suggesting a carefully considered junction point between the two monuments. The interior of the enclosure dips gently downslope toward the south. Forestry blocks the view to the east, and the low ground at the foot of the slope obscures what lies beyond, but the elevated position at around three hundred feet would have made this a well-situated and conspicuous place in the early medieval period, when enclosed farmsteads and ringforts of this general type were a common feature of the Irish countryside. Tipperary Golf Course lies immediately to the north, which gives a sense of just how close the ordinary present sits to these older arrangements in the ground.
