Measuring approximately 57 metres on its northeast-to-southwest axis and around 45 metres across, it is large enough to have once been significant, yet today it is defined only by a low bank of earth and stone, and even that has been interrupted. A later field wall, running northwest to southeast, cuts straight through the monument, and to the southwest of that wall no visible trace of the bank survives at all. There is no sign of a fosse, the defensive ditch that typically accompanies enclosures of this kind, which makes dating and interpreting the site more difficult than usual.

Enclosures of this general type are common across Ireland, serving historically as boundaries for farmsteads, ecclesiastical sites, or settlements, though without excavation it is rarely possible to say which function applied where. What makes the Lowpark example mildly unusual is the presence of a second subrectangular enclosure immediately to its east, abutting the monument, and considered possibly associated with it. Two enclosures sitting side by side, sharing an alignment, raises questions about whether this was ever a compound arrangement, with different zones serving different purposes, or whether the two structures belong to different periods entirely. The evidence, as it survives above ground, does not resolve the question.
