The shape is not dramatic, but its persistence on the landscape is quietly compelling. It widens as it runs from northwest to southeast, measuring around 18 metres across at its narrower end and broadening to roughly 30 metres at the other, with a total length of approximately 37 metres.

The enclosure appears on the first edition Ordnance Survey six-inch map of 1839 and again on the revised edition produced between 1899 and 1902, suggesting it was a recognisable feature of the local landscape across the entire Victorian period and beyond. Enclosures of this kind in Ireland range widely in date and function, from early medieval ringforts and their associated settlement remains to later field or garden enclosures, and without excavation it is rarely possible to say which category applies. What the maps also show is a laneway running northwest to southeast just a few metres to the west of the enclosure, close enough to suggest a relationship between the two, though what that relationship might have been remains an open question. By the time satellite imagery was examined in 2021, the enclosure was thoroughly colonised by scrub, its outlines surviving in vegetation rather than in standing walls or earthworks.
