Located about 46 metres northeast of a medieval church and graveyard, this site appears on the 1839 Ordnance Survey map as a distinctive subrectangular earthwork. The enclosure measured roughly 55 metres from northeast to southwest at its broadest southeastern end, narrowing to about 30 metres at the northwestern edge, with an overall width of 54 metres from northwest to southeast.

Time and agriculture have taken their toll on this historic feature. When archaeologists inspected the site in 1989, they found that most of the enclosure had been levelled, leaving only the narrow northwestern side partially intact, now incorporated into an irregular field boundary. A stream once flowed along a field boundary up to the eastern corner of the enclosure, possibly feeding a leat or water channel; an important detail that hints at the site’s former function. Today, a public road cuts through where this waterway once ran, passing immediately east of what would have been the enclosure’s eastern angle.

The proximity to other medieval sites adds another layer of intrigue to this location. About 290 metres to the northeast lies what appears to be a moated site, suggesting this area was once home to a cluster of medieval settlements. While satellite imagery from 2011 to 2019 shows little visible evidence of the original structure, the historical maps and field surveys preserve the memory of what was once an important part of the local medieval landscape, possibly serving as a defended homestead or agricultural centre during Ireland’s turbulent medieval period.
