Roughly 45 metres north to south and 30 metres east to west, it sits on level ground at the foot of a pronounced north-facing slope, occupying a footprint significant enough to suggest it once mattered considerably to whoever built and used it. There is nothing to see now, no earthwork, no raised bank, no obvious depression, just ordinary ground covering what was once a defined and deliberate space.

The only clear record of the enclosure as a physical feature comes from the 1838 Ordnance Survey six-inch map, where it appears marked with hachures, the fine radiating lines cartographers used to indicate an earthwork or raised boundary. By the time that map was drawn, enclosures of this kind, which could have served any number of purposes across Irish prehistory and the early medieval period, ranging from settlement enclosures to ritual or agricultural use, were already centuries or millennia old in many cases. The fact that it was visible enough in 1838 to be recorded, but is no longer detectable at ground level, suggests the intervening period has not been kind to whatever earthen banks or ditches once defined it.
