What makes it quietly awkward is the question of what it actually is. The boundary is partly a modern drystone wall, half a metre thick, and partly natural outcropping rock along the south and south-east side, where the landscape itself seems to have done the work of defining the space. At the north and north-west, there are hints of what might be deliberate wall-facing, though nothing definitive.

The site was listed as an enclosure in the Sites and Monuments Record in 1992 and again in the Record of Monuments and Places in 1996, both of which are formal Irish state registers of archaeological and historical sites. When someone went to look at it in person in 1998, the picture became more complicated rather than clearer. The drystone wall forming much of the perimeter appears to be modern construction, and the natural rock outcrops along the southern arc blur the line between a man-made boundary and a feature the landscape simply offered up. The possible wall-facing at the north is suggestive but inconclusive. It sits on flat ground with wide views from south-west around to north, the kind of position that would have suited any number of purposes across a very broad span of time.
