Roughly circular, about fifteen metres across, with no discernible entrance and a flat grassy interior, it sits in open rocky grazing land with nothing to announce what it is or why it was built. The wall itself appears to be of modern construction, which places it well outside the bracket of the ancient ring forts and cashels that dot the Irish countryside, yet its purpose remains entirely unclear.

The site was catalogued as an enclosure in the Sites and Monuments Record in 1992 and again in the Record of Monuments and Places in 1996, those being the successive frameworks through which Irish archaeological and heritage features are formally identified and protected. When an inspection was carried out in 1998, the investigator found nothing to overturn the basic description, only confirming that the drystone wall, the kind of mortarless stone construction common throughout the west of Ireland, appeared to be relatively recent in origin. No entrance gap was identified, which is itself a small puzzle; most enclosures, of whatever period or function, have some means of access built in. Whether this one ever did, or whether the wall has simply been modified or partially rebuilt at some point, is not recorded.
