The two phases of walling tell quietly different stories, one ancient and uncertain, the other practical and mundane, and the boundary between them is still readable on the ground.

The enclosure measures an estimated 32 metres in diameter. The older element, running from the west-northwest around to the south, is a rubble-filled wall between 1.8 and 3 metres wide and standing to roughly 0.8 to 1 metre in height, with no clear facing stones remaining. A possible entrance, just 0.9 metres wide, survives at the southeast. The arc from south to west-northwest is closed instead by a more modern wall, suggesting that at some point the older structure was pressed back into agricultural use and repaired with whatever came to hand. Inside, northeast of centre, the outline of a small hut or animal pen, just 4 metres in internal diameter, survives in stones still reaching 0.5 to 0.7 metres high. Enclosures of this broad type, sometimes called cashels or ringforts depending on their construction and probable function, were used across Ireland from the early medieval period onward as farmsteads or enclosures for livestock, though without excavation the date of this particular example remains open. The site was recorded on the 1916 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map, meaning it was visible and recognised as a feature of the landscape well over a century ago, even if its origins remained unexamined.
