The platform measures just over thirty-one metres east to west, its edges steeply scarped and in places revetted with two or three courses of limestone drystone walling. One side of the enclosure has been absorbed into a modern field wall, and the field immediately to the north shows signs of quarrying. The perimeter is overgrown along its eastern arc, and the interior is rocky and uneven, the kind of ground that resists easy reading.

What makes this particular enclosure worth pausing over is a large hollow in its interior, roughly seven metres by two, with limestone slabs and boulders visible at its base. This may indicate a collapsed souterrain, an underground passage or chamber of the kind commonly associated with early medieval ringforts in Ireland, used variously for storage, refuge, or ventilation. The alternative explanation is more prosaic: the hollow and its stones may simply represent field clearance, the accumulated effort of farmers shifting rock out of the way. No firm conclusion has been reached. The enclosure sits within what appears to be an extensive multiperiod field system, suggesting that this corner of Gowlaun has been organised and reorganised by successive occupants over a very long stretch of time. Roughly sixty-eight metres to the north-east lies a cashel, a stone-walled enclosure of early medieval date, and around eighty-six metres to the south-south-west stands a rath, an earthen ringfort. The three monuments together suggest a once-busy agricultural and possibly domestic landscape, now returned to rough pasture.
