The walls were robbed, meaning stones were removed for use elsewhere, a common fate for old field boundaries across Ireland, and what remains are linear arrangements of tumbled stone rather than standing courses. Together, they form three sides of an enclosure measuring roughly 12 metres north to south and 20 metres east to west, a modest but legible footprint on the landscape.

The system pivots around a smaller enclosure from which two field boundaries extend outward, one curving away to the north and east from the western end, the other continuing eastward from the eastern side. This arrangement, with boundaries radiating from a central enclosure, is a pattern seen elsewhere in early Irish agricultural landscapes, where a nucleus of occupation or penning connected to broader divisions of land. What makes this particular site quietly distinctive is the natural spring sitting within the enclosure itself. It appears to have been deliberately incorporated into the structure, lined with several large boulders up to 1.5 metres in diameter. Whether that lining was purely functional, keeping animals from fouling or collapsing the source, or whether it carried some other significance, the stonework suggests the spring was considered worth managing rather than simply tolerating. The site came to light as part of an archaeological assessment carried out by Edmond O'Donovan and Associates in April 2014, compiled in advance of a proposed forestry development at Toorsaleen.
