It measures around 116 metres north to south and 104 metres east to west, which makes it a substantial feature, yet it announces itself with no great drama. Its edges are defined by a scarped drop, an intervening fosse, and an outer earthen bank, all of which sound more imposing on paper than they appear in the field. A fosse, in this context, is simply a ditch, and the combination of scarp, ditch, and bank is a familiar grammar in the Irish landscape, one typically associated with enclosures of early medieval or prehistoric date, though no period is confirmed here.

The site was recorded by Denis Power and uploaded to the archaeological record in August 2011. The measurements he noted are specific enough to give a sense of something deliberate: the external bank rises to 1.6 metres on its outer face and 1 metre on its inner, while the outer fosse runs to about 4 metres wide. These figures apply to the south-western through north-western arc of the enclosure, which is the better-preserved portion. Moving around to the north-west and back towards the south-west, the scarped edge becomes indistinct and discontinuous, either through natural erosion, agricultural disturbance, or simply the passage of time working unevenly on earthen construction. The bank itself is obscured by overgrowth and may, in part, have been absorbed into or confused with the surrounding field boundary system, which is the kind of thing that happens when a landscape is farmed continuously across many centuries.

The place name offers its own quiet point of interest. Lisheensheela combines the Irish words for a small enclosure and a name that may connect to the sheela-na-gig tradition, though that is a matter of local etymology rather than anything recorded at this specific site. For anyone visiting, the elevated pasture setting means the enclosure sits in open ground with reasonable visibility, though the overgrowth noted by Power may make the bank difficult to read clearly depending on the season. The south-western to north-western arc is the section most likely to reward careful looking. This is not a site with a visitors' car park or an interpretive panel; it sits within working farmland, and any visit should be made with that in mind.
