The enclosure it sits within is classified as an early ecclesiastical site, the kind of roughly circular or irregular boundary that Irish monastics and clerics favoured from around the sixth century onwards, demarcating a sanctified precinct from the ordinary world outside. What survives of that boundary here is a combination of two different construction methods: a stone wall to the north and west, and a stone-faced earthen bank to the south, the variation suggesting either different phases of construction or simply pragmatic use of whatever materials were at hand at different points along the perimeter.

The most quietly striking feature lies in the south-east quadrant of the ground, where a cluster of grave markers stands without any inscription. No names, no dates, no epitaphs. These uninscribed stones are not unusual in older Irish burial grounds; they mark generations of the dead whose identities were once known to the community tending the site, but whose names were never cut into stone or have since been lost entirely. The fact that the ground remains in active use today means the living and the long-dead share the same enclosure, with modern interments continuing within a boundary that was first drawn perhaps fourteen centuries ago.
