This curious rectangular plot of raised ground has puzzled archaeologists since its inspection in 1963, when surveyors noted its unusual characteristics; a levelled interior space that had clearly been modified for human use, though its exact purpose remains elusive. The site doesn't match any known types of Irish field monuments, making it something of an archaeological enigma.

The most prominent feature is the western bank, which rises about a metre high where the ground slopes down towards a nearby stream. This earthwork appears to have been deliberately constructed to create a level platform on the hillside, possibly for agricultural purposes or as the foundation for a small dwelling. The southern and eastern boundaries are far less distinct, marked today only by patches of briars that trace the faint outline of what may once have been more substantial banks. To the north, a modern field boundary of hedge, bank and ditch has replaced whatever ancient demarcation once existed there.

Despite its intriguing nature, the site has become increasingly difficult to detect. Ground level surveys can no longer easily identify the features that were documented in the 1960s, and the absence of a defensive fosse or ditch suggests this wasn't a military structure. The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary notes that whilst the site was clearly modified by human hands, whether it served as a simple field enclosure, a cultivated garden plot, or the foundation of a small farmstead remains an open question, adding to the many mysteries that dot the Irish landscape.
