It is not a stone circle in the ceremonial sense, but a circular enclosure, roughly twelve metres in diameter, its boundary wall long since overgrown but still legible from the air. What makes it quietly arresting is not its size, which is modest, but its setting: embedded within an extensive multiperiod field system, meaning a patchwork of boundaries, banks, and divisions laid down by different communities at different times, the enclosure is one small fixed point in a landscape that has accumulated human effort across generations.

The enclosure came to notice through aerial imagery rather than ground survey. Conn Herriott identified it as visible on both Digital Globe imagery from 2011 to 2013 and Aerial Premium imagery from 2013 to 2018, where the circular outline of the overgrown stone wall can be picked out against the surrounding rough pasture. Circular stone enclosures of this kind are a familiar feature of the Irish countryside and can serve many purposes depending on their date and context, from early medieval ringforts used as farmsteads and defensible homesteads, to simple livestock enclosures of much later date. Without excavation or closer survey, the precise function and period of this particular example remain open questions. A second possible enclosure lies approximately 85 metres to the north-west, suggesting that whatever activity took place here, it was not entirely isolated.
