The ground has been levelled, the interior given over to pasture, and a modern field fence cuts straight across the eastern side as though the buried archaeology beneath it were simply not there. And yet the remains persist, quietly, in the form of a low earthen scarp tracing a semi-circular arc from south, around to the west, and up toward the north-north-east.

The monument measures roughly 40 metres north to south and 18 metres east to west, with the defining scarp running to about 4.5 metres in width and less than a metre in height. Enclosures of this kind, broad low ringworks defined by an earthen bank or scarp rather than upstanding masonry, are a familiar if often poorly understood feature of the Irish landscape. They may represent the remains of an early medieval farmstead, a stock enclosure, or a more specialised agricultural or ceremonial space, though without excavation it is rarely possible to say which. What gives this particular example an additional quality of elusiveness is that its eastern side has been entirely obscured by dense, impenetrable vegetation, leaving that portion of the circuit untraceable on the ground. A fast-flowing stream runs adjacent to this same eastern edge, which may partly explain both the vegetation growth and why the enclosure was sited here in the first place, water being a practical necessity for any settled or working space. The result is a monument that is half-hidden by nature and half-erased by continued agricultural use, surviving in a partial, provisional way that is perhaps more typical of the Irish archaeological record than the more legible examples that tend to attract attention.
