What makes it quietly interesting is the layering visible in its construction: the existing drystone wall, still standing to over two metres on its western side, was not built from scratch but raised on the plinth of an older wall beneath it. One enclosure, in other words, sits on the foundations of another, though what separated the two phases of building, and by how long, is unknown.

The enclosure measures twenty-one metres across internally on its north-south axis, and the drystone wall itself is a substantial piece of work, running to two and a half metres in width. The variation in surviving height is noticeable: the interior face rises only a metre at the south-east but climbs to one and a half metres at the west, while the exterior face ranges from just over a metre on the east to more than two metres on the west. Along the north-east to east section, the wall has been removed entirely, leaving only a slight scarp, a low earthen edge, to trace where the perimeter once ran. No original entrance has been identified, which is not unusual for sites of this kind where later disturbance, or simple erosion, has removed the evidence. Michael J. Moore recorded the site in the Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim, published in 2003.
