What survives is a roughly thirty-metre-wide enclosure defined by a steep-sided, round-topped earthen bank, the kind of construction broadly known as a ringfort, which served early medieval Irish communities variously as a defended farmstead, a place of status, or a domestic enclosure. The bank here measures around three and a half metres wide, still rising to between half a metre and one and a half metres on the exterior, though it has been worn down to little more than a low scarp along the northern side. Just beyond it, faint traces of a fosse, the ditch that would originally have reinforced the bank, survive at the north-west, with a width of around three metres.

What gives this particular enclosure an additional layer of interest is what occupies its interior. Against the inner face of the bank at the north-west stands the outline of a rectangular house site, its grass-covered wall foundation measuring just over ten and a half metres by nearly five metres. The foundation survives to a maximum height of less than half a metre, but its footprint is clear enough. Whether this structure was contemporary with the original enclosure or represents a later, perhaps medieval or post-medieval, reuse of the sheltered space is not recorded. The site was documented and measured by Michael J. Moore as part of the Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim, published by the Stationery Office in Dublin in 2003, and the dimensions and observations quoted here derive from that survey.
