The site occupies a level platform atop a ridge, with views down to the northeast and south where the land drops away into a valley cradling two connected lakes called Garvanagh Lough. A stream from the southern lake curves around the base of the hill, completing the picturesque setting that has remained largely unchanged for centuries.

The enclosure itself is roughly triangular, measuring about 15.5 metres from northwest to southeast, widening from 4.5 metres at its southeastern end to 9.5 metres at the northwestern corner. Its unusual shape follows the natural contours of the small rise it sits upon, with rounded corners softening its geometric form. What defines this ancient space is a low stone bank, now barely visible beneath centuries of moss and sod growth. Standing just 20 to 30 centimetres high and about a metre wide, stones occasionally poke through the verdant covering like ancient teeth, hinting at the structure beneath.

Inside the enclosure, the ground is relatively level, with moss-covered stones breaking the surface here and there; remnants of whatever activities once took place within these bounds. Just 16 metres to the northwest sits a larger companion enclosure, suggesting this wasn’t an isolated feature but part of a broader settlement pattern. While higher ground to the northwest overlooks the site, its position still commands respectable views across the surrounding countryside, making it an ideal spot for early inhabitants to keep watch over their lands whilst remaining connected to the water sources below.
