The stones are collapsed, their arrangement reduced to a low spread of drystone walling, but the outline remains legible enough to identify it as an enclosure, a type of structure in which a circular or roughly circular wall was used to define and protect a domestic or agricultural space. What makes this particular example quietly absorbing is what sits inside it: in the southern half of the interior, partially swallowed by the same boggy ground, there is a hut site, the remnant of a small roofed structure that would once have been inhabited.

The wall itself is not especially tall even in its original conception, surviving to around half a metre in height, and built in the drystone manner, meaning the stones were laid without mortar. Larger stones form the body of the structure, with smaller ones placed on top, and loose stones scattered outward around the exterior suggest that the wall has spread over time under its own weight and the slow pressure of the bog. The pairing of an enclosure with an internal hut site is characteristic of early settlement patterns in the Irish uplands, where a person or family might shelter within a defined boundary, perhaps using the enclosing wall to manage livestock as much as to mark territory or provide protection. The precise date of this site is not recorded, but this kind of arrangement is broadly associated with early medieval or prehistoric occupation of marginal land.
