By the time the Ordnance Survey mapped the area in 1842, the enclosure was already notable enough to record, measuring roughly 45 metres on each side. Today it has been levelled almost entirely into the surrounding farmland, and what survives is little more than a low rise tracing the line of the old bank on the northern side and to the south-west. On the eastern side, the bank appears to have been absorbed into the existing field fence system, its original form dissolved into the working landscape of the farm.

The antiquarian John Windele visited the site and described what he saw in terms that suggest the earthworks were then still reasonably legible: a substantial squared enclosure with both an upstanding bank and a fosse running outside it. His observations were later cited by R. A. S. Macalister in 1945. What makes the site particularly interesting is its wider context. Windele also noted the presence of two ogham stones in the area, ogham being an early medieval script used to inscribe names and short dedications, typically on standing stones, and associated in Ireland with roughly the fourth to seventh centuries. A possible souterrain, an underground stone-built passage or chamber often linked to early settlement activity, was also recorded nearby. A second rectangular enclosure of similar character lies roughly 250 metres to the west-north-west, suggesting that whatever activity concentrated here was not confined to a single monument but spread across this stretch of slope.
