This kind of enclosure, modest and unassuming, is one of the more quietly puzzling forms in the Irish archaeological landscape. It measures approximately thirty metres north to south and twenty-five metres east to west, and within that contained space there are traces of what may have been a small hut, its interior footprint only about four metres by two, barely large enough to shelter more than one or two people.

The site was recorded on the Ordnance Survey six-inch map of 1838, which means that even before systematic archaeology was a discipline in Ireland, cartographers noted this feature as something worth marking. What the enclosure was originally used for is not recorded. The combination of a defined boundary and an interior structure suggests domestic or agricultural use at some point, but the sparse remains leave that question open. The terrain around it is gently undulating, and the ground within the enclosure itself is described as level, which may itself reflect the work of whoever shaped or used the space. Since its mapping in the nineteenth century, the site has been absorbed into forestry, which has both preserved it from certain kinds of disturbance and made it effectively inaccessible to casual observation.
