The site sits just below the crest of the plateau, roughly 350 metres northwest of the Owenavorragh River, which runs south to north through the area. What marks it out, beyond its quiet air of abandonment, is the earthen bank enclosing it, three to four metres wide and standing about a metre high, tracing a rough rectangle measuring some 35 to 50 metres east to west and 45 metres north to south. This kind of earthen enclosure is a common feature of early Irish ecclesiastical sites, where a raised boundary bank served both a practical and a symbolic function, separating sacred ground from the surrounding countryside.

The church within the enclosure belonged to the parish of Killenagh, and among what survives at the eastern end is a seventeenth-century graveslab. Grave slabs of this period in Ireland often bear carved inscriptions, heraldic motifs, or the tools associated with a trade, though what particular markings this one carries is not recorded here. The parish name, Killenagh, follows the common Irish pattern of "Cill", meaning church, combined with a personal or place name, suggesting an ecclesiastical foundation that likely predates the post-medieval slab by several centuries. By the time that slab was cut, the site was already carrying generations of history within its earthen boundary.
