The enclosure itself is modest in scale, roughly six metres north to south and five and a half metres east to west, defined by a wall between one and a half and two metres wide. Walls of that thickness relative to the interior space suggest something built to last, or built to contain, rather than a casual boundary marker, though what exactly this structure was used for remains open to interpretation.

The enclosure was documented by Keegan in 2016 as part of what appears to be an extensive prehistoric or early historic landscape on the Termon plateau. The field system surrounding it, of which this enclosure forms one component, covers the plateau broadly, suggesting organised and sustained use of the land over a considerable period. Farming activity has disturbed the enclosure to some degree, which is a common fate for low-lying stone structures in agricultural landscapes, where walls are robbed for later building work or simply flattened by machinery and livestock over generations. Despite this, enough survives to be identifiable from aerial imagery taken between 2012 and 2018.
