What survives measures roughly 17 metres in total length, running south-southeast to south-southwest, and stands between 0.7 metres on its interior face and 1.35 metres on its exterior. To most passers-by it would read as nothing more than a field boundary, an ordinary feature of the Irish agricultural landscape. To a surveyor or archaeologist, however, it represents the surviving angle of what was once a complete enclosure, and the gap between what the maps once showed and what the ground now holds is where the interest lies.

The story of this earthwork is partly one of erasure. When the Ordnance Survey recorded the area on its 1841 six-inch map, it depicted a full embanked circular enclosure approximately 20 metres in diameter. Circular embanked enclosures of this kind are a common feature of the Irish countryside, often associated with early medieval settlement, though without excavation their precise date and function remain open questions. By the time the same mapping series was revised in 1923, only an arc of the enclosure survived, shown in the southern corner of what had by then become a triangular field. The geometry of what remains on the ground today suggests the surviving bank may actually represent the corner of a square or rectangular enclosure rather than a circular one, which adds a further layer of ambiguity to a site that has already been substantially reduced. The record was compiled by Denis Power and uploaded in August 2011.

The remnant sits at the junction of a public road to the southwest and a field boundary to the southeast, which means the bank is accessible in the sense that it runs directly alongside a road, though it lies within agricultural land and visitors should be mindful of that. There is nothing dramatic to see; the value here is in reading the landscape carefully. The slight rise of the bank, modest as it is, becomes more legible in low-angled winter light when shadows pick out the contours of the ground. Looking at the angle of the surviving earthwork and imagining the enclosure it once formed, whether circular as the earlier map suggested or rectangular as the remaining bank implies, gives a reasonable sense of how much can be lost from a monument in fewer than eighty years of ordinary farming.
