Spread across roughly five hectares of a north-facing ridge slope, a series of pits arranged in rough east-west lines sit spaced about thirty metres apart. Each pit is modest in scale, around five metres long, two metres wide, and only about twenty centimetres deep, but the regularity of their arrangement is the thing that catches the eye, or rather the aerial camera.

The site came to broader attention through aerial photography, which revealed the full extent of the pattern across the landscape in a way that ground-level inspection rarely could. Aerial survey has transformed Irish archaeology over recent decades, exposing crop marks, soil discolourations, and earthwork traces that are essentially invisible from the surface. What the photographs show here is an organised distribution of features across the ridge, running along a roughly west-north-west to east-south-east axis. Whether the pits relate to agricultural activity, extraction of some kind, or something older and less immediately functional is not recorded. That ambiguity is part of what makes the site quietly interesting. The landscape has been shaped deliberately, the evidence for that is clear, but the reason has not followed the evidence into the record.
