The wall has long since collapsed inward on itself, but the subcircular outline is still readable in the landscape, measuring roughly 26 metres north to south and 23.4 metres east to west. On the western side, the original facing stones of the drystone wall are still visible externally, a small window into the construction method beneath all that turf.

The proximity to a turlough is quietly telling. Turloughs are seasonal limestone lakes, a feature particular to the karst landscapes of the west of Ireland, filling with groundwater in winter and draining away in summer to leave bare, rush-fringed ground. Settling close to one would have made practical sense for an early medieval farming household, the wet ground offering natural protection on one side while remaining useful grazing in the dry months. A gap in the enclosure wall at the north-east may be the original entrance, and just outside the northern edge, the grassed-over foundations of a small semicircular feature survive, the purpose of which is unclear but which suggests some additional structure once stood in direct relation to the cashel itself.
