The monument is not dramatic by any conventional measure. Its defining features are a levelled scarp, a shallow fosse, and an interior that tilts gently downhill to follow the natural slope of the ground. Without knowing what to look for, a person could walk across it without registering anything out of the ordinary.

The enclosure measures roughly 16 metres east to west and 14 metres north to south. A scarp, essentially a low earthen step or edge marking the former boundary, traces the arc from south-east to north-east; a fosse, the ditch that would once have reinforced the perimeter, runs from south-east to south-west. The fosse itself is quite shallow now, just 35 centimetres at its deepest, though it widens considerably to an overall span of over 15 metres where its banks spread. What makes the site particularly interesting is that the fosse along its northern edge is shared with a separate, neighbouring enclosure, suggesting the two were either contemporary or that one was deliberately appended to the other. Enclosures of this type, broadly circular or semi-circular earthworks used historically for settlement, agriculture, or the management of livestock, are common across Ireland, though the survival of boundary features even in this flattened, vestigial state is genuinely useful evidence of earlier land organisation in the Tipperary countryside.
