Grass and moss have settled over the stonework until it reads more as a raised seam in the hillside than a deliberate construction. Yet the dimensions are precise enough to suggest purpose: the enclosure measures approximately 32 metres north to south and 30.5 metres east to west, with walls still surviving to a modest height, and what appears to be a narrow entrance on the eastern side, marked by a large boulder whose flat face aligns with the threshold. A second boulder, displaced, lies roughly a metre outside that gap, hinting at disturbance over a long period.

What makes the site particularly interesting is that it does not stand alone. In 1996, Diarmuid O'Keeffe identified this enclosure as one component of a much larger complex spread across the same river valley in Middlequarter townland. The wider landscape includes multiple additional enclosures, a scatter of hut sites, clearance cairns, a field system, and a possible ring-cairn. Clearance cairns are exactly what the name suggests: mounds formed when people gathered stones off cultivated or grazed land and piled them aside, a practical act that also serves as evidence of sustained human activity across a hillside. Taken together, these features suggest that this now-quiet mountain slope was once a working landscape, occupied and organised over an extended period. The enclosure itself, with its substantial wall width of up to 2.8 metres, may have served as a farmstead boundary, an animal pen, or something more complex within that wider settlement pattern.
