At roughly nine metres long and just over five metres wide, it is not much larger than a modest room, yet it was deliberately constructed with an inner ditch and an outer bank, the kind of earthwork arrangement that implies some purpose beyond casual use, even if that purpose is no longer legible in the landscape.

The enclosure measures 8.90 metres in length and 5.20 metres in width. Its inner ditch is half a metre wide and drops to around forty centimetres in depth, while the outer bank reaches a height of thirty centimetres on the interior side and twenty centimetres on the exterior. These are modest dimensions by any standard, and that modesty is itself part of what makes the site curious. Enclosures of this general type appear across Ireland in a variety of forms, from large cashels encircling early medieval settlements to smaller, less understood features whose original function remains open to interpretation. Whether this one served a domestic, agricultural, ritual, or boundary-marking purpose is not recorded.
