The combination is quietly odd: an ancient boundary of stacked or laid stone, origin and date unspecified, with a modern survey marker planted at its heart as though the two eras had quietly agreed to share the spot.

The enclosure appears in the Dingle Peninsula Archaeological Survey, which also clarified a long-standing administrative confusion. Earlier records, including the Sites and Monuments Record of 1990 and the Record of Monuments and Places of 1997, had placed the site across two townlands, Derrymore East and Shanakeal, but the survey established that it lies entirely within Shanakeal. Such misattributions are not unusual in older compiled records, where the boundaries between townlands, the smallest land divisions in the Irish administrative system, were not always resolved against fieldwork. The enclosure is designated as enclosure 'A' in the relevant file, suggesting at least one other feature in the vicinity was being catalogued at the same time, though detail on any companion features is not available here.
