The sub-circular outline of an enclosure, roughly 24 metres north to south and 27 metres east to west, is barely legible today; its defining bank has been levelled almost to nothing, surviving only as a slight rise averaging around half a metre on the interior side. What makes the site quietly interesting is not its grandeur but its persistence, the way a feature so reduced can still be traced across a south-facing slope.

Enclosures of this kind, broadly circular or oval earthworks defined by a bank and sometimes an interior fosse, or ditch, are among the most common monument types in the Irish countryside, generally associated with early medieval settlement or stock management. Here, the outer bank survives only along the south, west, and northeast arc, interrupted in two places: a bohereen, a narrow local laneway, cuts through the northeast sector, and an open trackway truncates the northern edge. Within the interior, which drops away sharply to the southwest, a smaller semi-circular feature survives, defined by a shallow fosse roughly 4.5 metres wide and only 15 centimetres deep, running from the southwest around to the north before it too is cut by the bohereen. A slight depression in the western area is obscured by nettles. That detail alone gives some sense of scale; this is a site where the archaeology has retreated almost entirely into the vegetation and the micro-topography, legible only to someone moving slowly and paying close attention.

The enclosure sits alongside a second enclosure to the northeast, suggesting this corner of Jossestown was once more organised and occupied than the present quiet pasture implies. Neither monument announces itself; the interest lies in reading the almost-invisible transitions between level ground and the faint undulations that were, at some earlier point, a constructed boundary.
