It sits in level, boggy pasture, its walls reduced to a single surviving course of sod-covered masonry, and were it not for the boulder-like external facing slabs still visible along its circuit, it might pass entirely unnoticed beneath the grass. The enclosed area measures roughly 7.7 metres north to south and 9.2 metres east to west, with walls nearly two metres wide, suggesting something originally more substantial than its current state implies.

What makes the structure particularly layered is what was added to it, and what those additions may be concealing. Two sheepfolds, the kind of low enclosures built to gather and manage livestock, interrupt the wall circuit at the south-west and north-west. Neither is simply tacked onto the enclosure: the north-west fold, U-shaped in plan, appears to overlie an earlier structure, while the south-west example seems to follow the outline of a still older circular form beneath it. The effect is of a site where each generation of use has quietly folded itself over the last, so that what looks like a modest ruined enclosure is actually a compressed sequence of occupation and reuse. Whether the original structure was domestic, agricultural, or of some other purpose is not recorded, and the boggy ground that surrounds it has so far kept its earlier phases from clearer view.
