This circular structure, measuring just under 11 metres across internally, features substantial stone walls that vary between 1.25 and 1.5 metres in width. Though time has reduced their height to around half a metre, the walls remain impressive, particularly where the builders cleverly incorporated natural rock outcrops into their construction. A gap of nearly two metres on the southeastern side provides the only break in this otherwise continuous stone boundary.

The real intrigue lies at the heart of the enclosure, where a stone cairn rises 1.2 metres from the ground, spanning almost four metres in diameter. This isn’t just any pile of stones; it serves as a platform for something rather special. Atop the cairn rests a distinctive slab with a cross-shaped elevation, measuring roughly 90 by 46 centimetres and varying in thickness from 9 to 17 centimetres. The western face of this slab bears a simple inscribed cross, marking it as an early Christian monument known as a cross-slab.

This site, catalogued as DG080-003011 through DG080-003013, represents a fascinating blend of prehistoric and early Christian traditions in Ireland. The enclosure itself may predate the Christian elements, with the cairn and cross-slab potentially added later to sanctify an already significant location. Such repurposing of ancient sites was common practice as Christianity spread through Ireland, creating these layered monuments that tell multiple stories across the centuries.
