It is the kind of place that rewards a second look, because not everything here is the same age, and the difference is written into the walls themselves.

The enclosure measures approximately 42 metres north-north-west to south-south-east and 32 metres east-north-east to west-south-west. Along the northern, eastern, and southern sides, the boundary is a relatively modern drystone wall, a technique of stacking unmortared stone that has been used across the Irish countryside for centuries, here running to a modest 0.7 metres wide and no more than 0.8 metres high. The western wall is a different matter entirely. Broader at 1.2 metres and accompanied by a spread of associated collapse that brings the combined width to around three metres, it carries a noticeably older character. This western wall is also a shared structure, forming the boundary between this enclosure and a separate, adjoining one immediately to the west. The presence of that collapsed, thicker wall alongside the thinner modern work suggests that an earlier boundary was at some point incorporated into or overlaid by later agricultural activity, with the older fabric surviving most visibly where it does the most structural work. The enclosure commands wide views westward and around to the north-east, which may well have mattered to whoever first chose to mark out this ground.
