This is the kind of monument that does not announce itself. No masonry, no tower, no dramatic elevation; only a low earthen bank and a surrounding fosse, the term for the ditch dug to create the bank's external face, tracing an enclosure roughly 60 metres north to south and just over 72 metres east to west. Enclosures of this kind are among the most common archaeological features in the Irish landscape, likely serving as farmsteads, stock enclosures, or defended settlement sites across many centuries, though pinning down an exact period or purpose without excavation is rarely straightforward.

The site was recorded by Denis Power and uploaded to the national record in August 2011. The bank itself survives unevenly around its circuit. It is best preserved along the northeast to south-southwest arc, where the internal height reaches around 0.9 metres and the external face rises to approximately 1.25 metres. Moving westward and northward, the bank flattens and narrows considerably, reducing to a low, flat-topped ridge only about a metre wide. Along other sections it has been eroded to little more than a scarped edge. The fosse is clearest at the east-northeast but becomes obscured along the southern arc, where a field boundary runs close and has disrupted the original ground surface. A causeway roughly 7 metres wide crosses the fosse at the southwest, corresponding to a slight dip in the scarp on the inner side, marking what was almost certainly the original entrance.

The interior slopes gently downward toward the north, following the natural gradient of the ground, though the southern third levels out. That northern orientation, combined with the proximity of the marsh, gives the whole site a damp, slightly enclosed character. Visitors approaching across the pasture should look for the causeway gap at the southwest as the most readable point of entry into the monument's logic. The fosse is shallow, under a metre deep, and the bank modest, so neither will halt progress, but the full oval is most legible from a slight distance, where the interplay of bank and ditch becomes easier to read against the flat surrounding ground.
