Nothing of it remains visible above ground today. What makes it quietly strange is that its existence is known almost entirely because nineteenth-century Ordnance Survey cartographers recorded it on both the first and second editions of their six-inch maps, preserving an outline that the bog has since swallowed entirely.

The enclosure's interior is recorded as having contained a cist burial grave, a type of prehistoric interment in which a body was placed within a small stone-lined box or pit, often covered with a capstone, and sometimes accompanied by simple grave goods. These burials are commonly associated with the Bronze Age in Ireland, though the tradition spans a considerable period. Paul Gosling's Archaeological Inventory of County Galway, published in 1993, is the source that links these two features together: the enclosure as mapped by the Ordnance Survey, and the cist grave within it. Without that compilation, the pairing might have remained entirely unremarked. The bog itself, which has preserved the record in its own way by obscuring the physical remains, is the reason neither feature can now be examined directly at the surface.
