It is easy to miss, and easier still to misread. What looks at first like a casual scatter of fieldstone turns out to be a deliberate enclosure, roughly seven metres across at its widest, defined by a low bank in which some stones are firmly embedded and others lie loosely, as though the structure has been slowly relaxing into the hillside over centuries.

What makes the site genuinely unusual is the presence of a cross-slab set into the north-east section of the bank, positioned radially, meaning it stands or lies in line with the radius of the circle rather than along its arc. A second stone, also set radially, sits about 1.7 metres to the south-east of it. Cross-slabs are early medieval markers, typically a flat stone incised with a simple cross, associated with early Christian devotion and sometimes with burial. Finding one built into the fabric of a circular enclosure raises questions that the archaeology does not fully answer. Such enclosures in Ireland can represent anything from early ecclesiastical precincts to secular boundaries, and the presence of not one but two radially placed stones here suggests the arrangement was intentional rather than incidental. Whether the enclosure was already old when the cross-slab was incorporated, or whether the two elements belong to the same period of use, remains unclear.
