From the grass, it presents little to the eye: a low scarp, essentially a raised earthen boundary edge, running around a roughly circular area approximately twenty metres across, its interior now covered in dense vegetation with no visible features remaining. What makes it slightly peculiar is a deliberate straightening of the scarp along a sixteen-metre stretch to the northwest, and a noticeable indent where the bank has been partially cut into on the northeast to east-northeast side, suggesting either past investigation or some localised disturbance over the centuries.

The enclosure was formally identified not through ground survey but through aerial photography, a reminder that some of Ireland's most enduring archaeological features are effectively invisible until seen from above. The Air Corps and the Geological Survey of Ireland both flagged the site independently, with the GSI record dating to April 1974. An enclosure, in the Irish archaeological sense, typically refers to a defined area bounded by a bank, scarp, or fosse (a shallow ditch) that may once have served any number of purposes: a ringfort for settlement and livestock, a ritual or burial space, or a boundary marker of some kind. Here, a fosse runs around the eastern to western arc and is at its shallowest overall, deepest toward the east-southeast. A second enclosure of the same type sits roughly twelve metres to the east-southeast, making this a paired or clustered arrangement, which is not uncommon in the Irish midlands and south but is always worth noting when it occurs.
