A circular enclosure roughly thirty-five metres across once sat on a gentle rise in the landscape, the kind of slight elevation that early settlers often favoured for enclosures of this type. Circular enclosures, broadly ringfort-like structures defined by an earthen bank or stone wall, were among the most common forms of settlement in early medieval Ireland, and thousands of them survive in varying states of preservation. This one does not survive at all, at least not in any form the eye can easily read.

By the time the third edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map was published in 1932, the enclosure was already compromised. A field wall had been built directly over the eastern half of its enclosing element, absorbing one side of the monument into the working infrastructure of the farm. Subsequent land reclamation removed whatever surface traces remained. The northern sector of the interior was quarried out at some point, further dismantling what had already been reduced to little more than a low earthwork. What is left now is essentially invisible to the casual eye, with only subtle variations in vegetation colour marking where the old boundary once ran, the buried archaeology still affecting moisture retention or soil chemistry enough to show faintly in the grass above it.
