What makes this corner of County Wicklow quietly remarkable is that the evidence for human activity here exists almost entirely as a cropmark, a phenomenon where buried ditches and features cause overlying crops or grass to grow differently, producing patterns visible only from the air. Spotted on aerial photography in July 2021, the site reveals two adjoining irregular enclosures or field systems lying in a gently undulating pastoral landscape at around 119 metres above sea level. The larger of the two measures roughly 142 metres north to south and 104 metres east to west, defined by a ditch that varies in width from about 3.79 metres along its eastern boundary to around 2.2 metres on the western and northern sides. A smaller feature, approximately 85 metres by 59 metres, attaches to its western edge. No entrance gap has been identified in either.

The site sits within the historic demesne of Killinure House, about 250 metres from the house itself, and its position within that estate landscape complicates the question of what these features actually represent. The first edition Ordnance Survey six-inch map of around 1838 records field boundaries in the same area that were subsequently removed sometime after 1910, and several other linear cropmarks in the field correspond to those lost boundaries. It is possible, then, that the enclosures are simply remnants of a field system reorganised when the Killinure Estate was established in the early nineteenth century. But the irregular form of the main enclosure, combined with the presence of a separate enclosure roughly 330 metres to the north-north-west and a burial ground about 1.3 kilometres to the west-south-west in the same townland, leaves open the possibility of earlier activity on the site, perhaps considerably earlier. Without excavation, the question stays unanswered.
