Roughly sixteen metres across from east to west and fourteen metres north to south, it is defined not by a dramatic wall or an obvious ditch but by a scarp, a low earthen slope or step that rises between three quarters of a metre and one and a half metres above the surrounding ground. On the eastern side, the scarp becomes almost vertical, faced with large boulders laid in two courses; this stonework is thought to be a later addition rather than an original feature. To the south, the boundary is marked by a loose arrangement of boulders and large stones, and to the west, the scarp gives way to the stream itself as a natural perimeter. There is no fosse, the ditch that typically accompanies a ringfort or enclosure, and no original entrance can be identified.

Enclosures of this kind are common across Ireland, serving in different periods as enclosed farmsteads, livestock pens, or settlements, though their precise dates and functions are rarely straightforward to determine from surface survey alone. What makes this one quietly interesting is the piecemeal quality of its boundaries: different materials and different degrees of preservation on each side suggest the enclosure was adapted or maintained over time, with the eastern boulder-facing likely representing one such episode of modification. The stream gully to the west would have provided a natural and practical western boundary, reducing the labour needed to define the perimeter on that side.
