The only way in is over one of two stiles, at the north and south-west. That wall, a drystone-built structure rising 1.45 metres above a shallow surrounding fosse, a drainage or boundary ditch, turns out to be a relatively late addition; comparative accounts suggest it was constructed sometime between the 1840s and the 1890s, replacing what had previously been a simple earthen bank and fosse arrangement. Ordnance Survey maps show the site of a church within the enclosure, but no physical trace of any structure has ever been identified. Children were still being buried here in the mid-nineteenth century.

The enclosure itself measures roughly 30.7 metres north to south and 29.5 metres east to west internally, and the ground rises in a subtle layering: the interior sits higher than the land outside, and the central area rises again above the interior edges, creating the impression of a shallow internal fosse that mirrors the real one beyond the wall. About 13 metres to the east lies a low cairn of stones with a notable proportion of quartz among them. Early accounts also describe, a little further east again, what were recorded as other tombs with great unshapen stones half buried. The interior today holds a scatter of low mounds and upright grave markers in no particular order. A collection of ogham stones, an early medieval script carved typically along the edges of standing stones to record personal names, was placed within the enclosure in more recent times, though these were not original to the site.
