What survives is modest but deliberate: a roughly circular area, approximately 25 metres across, raised slightly above the surrounding ground and defined by the remains of a levelled scarp, a sloping earthen bank or edge, around 2.5 metres wide and standing to about 0.8 metres in height. A later field wall cuts straight through the middle of it, indifferent to whatever came before.

This kind of earthwork enclosure is a familiar but still poorly understood feature of the Irish landscape. Circular enclosures defined by scarps or banks appear across the country in considerable variety, and their functions range from early medieval domestic settlements to stock enclosures to ritual sites. Without excavation, the specific date and purpose of this one cannot be determined. What is clear is that somebody once went to considerable effort to create a distinct, levelled plateau, shaping the ground into a defined interior space. The monument was identified during fieldwork rather than from documentary sources or maps, which suggests it had not previously been recorded or studied.
