The enclosure is not dramatic to look at; centuries of accumulated sod have buried whatever bank or wall once defined it, leaving a gentle swelling in the ground rather than any obvious masonry. What makes it quietly interesting is the question of what it actually is, and whether the two categories the records offer, ringfort or cashel, are even as distinct here as they might appear elsewhere. A cashel, for context, is a ringfort defined by a stone wall rather than an earthen bank, and the two forms often blur into one another after enough time has passed.

The site sits on a slight south-east facing slope about 130 metres west-south-west of the Cahercorney townland boundary, with open views in all directions. Curiously, it does not appear on the Ordnance Survey six-inch map edition of 1840, which suggests either that it was too degraded by that point to attract a surveyor's attention, or that it had already sunk so thoroughly into the landscape as to be unremarkable at ground level. By 1897, the twenty-five inch edition does record it, showing an oval embanked enclosure with external dimensions of roughly 32 metres north-east to south-west and 25 metres north-west to south-east, with an opening approximately 5 metres wide on the north-east side. O'Kelly, writing in 1944, noted a cashel to the north-east, now recorded separately. The compiler Edmond O'Donovan, who uploaded the formal record in November 2020, flagged that the site may originally have been a cashel itself, making it a possible stone-walled enclosure that has since lost its visible fabric beneath the turf.

The site is in working pasture, so access depends on landowner permission and the usual considerations of farming activity. It lies roughly 300 metres west of a standing stone and around 400 metres north-west of Knockbolg House. Because the defining bank is now beneath sod, the enclosure is most legible from aerial imagery, and even at ground level the slight rise is easier to read in low winter light or after rain, when differential growth in the grass can betray underlying structure. The opening on the north-east side, if still traceable underfoot, is the clearest physical feature to look for.
