A modest oval earthwork once occupied this elevated ground, measuring roughly twenty metres east to west and fifteen metres north to south, but it has been levelled so thoroughly that when someone came to inspect the site in 1995, all that remained was a slightly raised patch of rough ground on one side of a field fence and a faint, irregular arc of raised earth on the other. A townland boundary running on a north-west to south-east axis bisects the spot, dividing whatever coherence the enclosure once had between two fields. Housing estates now press in from the north-east and south-east, and to the west the ridge drops away sharply where the slope has been cut back.

The enclosure appears on the Ordnance Survey six-inch maps of both 1837 and 1930, which tells us it was still a legible feature of the landscape well into the twentieth century. Enclosures of this kind, broadly oval and embanked, are a common enough form in the Irish archaeological record, used across many centuries as farmsteads, enclosures for livestock, or the defended residences of local landholders. By the time of the 1930 mapping it was already reduced to a faint outline, and by 1995 even that was barely traceable. A second and larger enclosure, now also levelled, was recorded immediately to the north-west on the 1837 map, suggesting this ridge once held more than one such feature, perhaps part of a small cluster of early settlement activity overlooking the Moy valley.
