The structure is easy to miss; its defining bank rises only about thirty centimetres above the surrounding peat, sitting on the base course of a stone wall just over one and a half metres wide. What remains is roughly oval, measuring around twenty-three metres east to west and nineteen metres north to south internally, which gives it a scale more domestic than ceremonial, though what it was actually used for is not recorded.

What makes this enclosure quietly unusual is the detail that survives along its southern to north-western arc: the remains of an inner and outer row of contiguous upright slabs, stones set on end and placed side by side rather than built up in courses. This kind of construction, sometimes seen in early medieval contexts across the Irish countryside, suggests a degree of deliberate craftsmanship that outlasted whatever activity the enclosure once contained. The eastern arc is damaged, cut through by a track used by turf-cutters working the bog, a reminder that these upland landscapes have been worked continuously for generations, with earlier structures absorbed quietly into the routine of later land use. Blanket bog, which forms through the accumulation of waterlogged peat over centuries, has a tendency to preserve and obscure in equal measure, holding walls and banks just below its surface while softening their profiles until they read as little more than gentle undulations in the ground.
