What survives is a subcircular platform roughly thirty metres across from east to west, its edges defined not by any standing wall or ditch but by a degraded scarp, a low earthen step where the ground level was cut or built up to create a levelled surface. It is the kind of feature that a casual walker might step across without registering, yet it represents a class of monument found across Ireland, enclosures whose original function, whether domestic, agricultural, or ceremonial, is often difficult to recover from the landscape alone.

The platform has not come through the centuries intact. Quarrying has bitten into its north-east and south-east edges, removing material that might otherwise have helped define the monument's shape and extent. More damaging still, a field boundary has been driven through it from the south-east to the south-west, cutting the monument and making it impossible to read the full circuit of the enclosure. What remains is essentially a fragment, a partial arc of earthwork that gestures toward something larger without being able to complete the picture. The bogland that stretches out to the east and south would once have formed a very different kind of backdrop, wetter and more marginal, which may say something about why this particular slope was chosen as a place to build.
