Most early enclosures in Ireland are roughly circular, so this one, measuring approximately 16 metres north to south and just over 15 metres east to west, with neatly rounded corners, is an oddity worth pausing over. It sits on a south-facing slope scattered with rock outcrops, the kind of terrain that can make it easy to miss earthworks unless you know what you are looking for.

The enclosure is defined by a low earthen bank, the type of boundary feature associated with early settlement and land management across Ireland, though the precise date and function of this particular example are not recorded in the survey notes compiled by Denis Power and uploaded in November 2013. The bank varies considerably depending on which side you approach. Along the south-west to north-west arc it stands at its most substantial, roughly 3.8 metres wide and rising to about 1.45 metres on the exterior face, though only half a metre on the interior. Elsewhere it has been reduced to little more than a scarped edge. Running around the outside is a fosse, which is simply a drainage or boundary ditch dug to reinforce the enclosure's definition. This outer ditch has itself been re-cut at some point during drainage works, and the material lifted from a nearby drainage channel running roughly north to south has been deposited along the eastern, southern, and western sides of the enclosure, complicating the reading of the original ground surface.

The site lies in ordinary farmland, and there is no formal access or visitor infrastructure. Earthworks of this kind are generally best observed in low winter or early spring light, when long shadows thrown by a low sun pick out the subtle rises and falls in the ground that might otherwise read as nothing more than uneven grazing. The south-facing aspect of the slope means morning light in particular can be useful. If you are trying to read the fosse and bank from the ground rather than a map, the north-west to north-east section, where drainage re-cutting has left the ditch shallower and wider, is noticeably less defined than the south-west to north-west stretch, where the earthworks retain more of their original profile.
