At roughly 85 metres across at its widest, it is a substantial monument, yet much of what once defined it has either been filled in, ploughed away, or repurposed as a field drain. That tension between survival and erasure is part of what makes it worth attention.

The enclosure is defined primarily by a scarp, a slope or step cut into the ground, ranging from half a metre to nearly two metres in height, that traces the circuit of the monument. On the eastern side, a low bank survives alongside the scarp, and it is here that a causewayed entrance, a gap left deliberately in the earthwork to allow passage, remains visible at just over five metres wide. Beyond the bank and scarp runs an external fosse, essentially a ditch, between three and five metres wide and up to a metre deep. At the southern arc, this fosse has been widened and deepened over time to serve as a field drain, which is a practical adaptation that has also helped preserve its line. To the north-northwest, the situation is the reverse: both the fosse and the scarp have been obliterated, the ditch filled and the bank removed. The interior itself is uneven, shaped by the natural contours of the low hillock on which the monument sits rather than by any obvious internal structures that survive above ground. Enclosures of this scale are found across Ireland and are generally understood to date from the prehistoric or early medieval period, though without excavation it is rarely possible to be precise about the date or function of any individual example.
