A low scarp running some 32 metres from the south-west through to the north-west is all that is left of what was once a roughly 30-metre-wide ring. The eastern portion is gone entirely, lost not to slow agricultural erosion but to something far more mundane and irreversible: road construction. The enclosure survived millennia only to be quietly levelled by machinery during the building of an adjacent road.

The site appears on the first edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map as a complete circular enclosure, the kind of earthwork, often called a ringfort, that was used across early medieval Ireland as an enclosed farmstead or place of habitation. By the time the third edition of the same map was produced in 1947, only the western arc was still shown, suggesting the eastern section had already been removed in the decades between surveys. The enclosure sits roughly 50 metres south-west of a church, a proximity that may be coincidental or may reflect the way early Christian settlements in Ireland frequently grew up near or around older enclosed sites. Without further investigation, that relationship remains open.
