What remains is a low stony bank, roughly 2.2 metres wide and just 0.2 metres high, tracing a curve that once completed a circle of approximately 16 metres in diameter. It is the kind of feature that most walkers would step over without a second thought, mistaking it for any other agricultural boundary.

The enclosure sits about 20 metres to the south-southwest of a cashel, a type of early medieval stone-walled fort or farmstead enclosure common across the west of Ireland. Whether the two structures were contemporary or related in function is not recorded, but their proximity suggests this corner of Shanclogh carried some significance across a long stretch of time. The enclosure itself is built in drystone construction, meaning the stones are laid without mortar, a technique used across Ireland from prehistory well into the post-medieval period. The later field wall that bisects it is a quiet record of how agricultural reorganisation, at some point in more recent centuries, simply overrode what had come before, the older boundary absorbed into a working landscape without ceremony.
