There is no mound, no visible bank, no stone protruding from the grass. What gives it away is colour, specifically the way crops or grass growing above buried ditches will stress or flourish differently from the soil around them, producing faint rings and arcs visible only from above, and only at certain times of year.

The site sits close to the townland boundary between Deanestown and Grace Dieu, in the barony of Balrothery East. What the aerial imagery reveals, most clearly in a Google Earth orthoimage taken on 24 June 2018, is a double-ditched circular enclosure roughly 42 metres in diameter. The two ditches are separated by a gap of between 3 and 5 metres, which is a configuration typical of a ringfort or similar early medieval enclosure; these were domestic or agricultural sites, generally dating from roughly the fifth to the twelfth century, defined by one or more earthen banks and accompanying ditches that enclosed a farmstead or settlement. The double-ditch arrangement at Deanestown suggests a site of some local significance, or simply one that was expanded or reinforced over time. The record was compiled by Christine Baker and uploaded to the sites database in November 2021, drawing on that summer 2018 imagery as its primary evidence.

Because this is a cropmark site, meaning it exists as a subsurface feature rather than a visible earthwork, there is nothing to see at ground level in the conventional sense. The field is private pasture, and access would require landowner permission. The most instructive way to observe the enclosure is via Google Maps or Google Earth satellite view, where the concentric rings are genuinely legible in the June 2018 imagery. Late spring and early summer tend to produce the clearest cropmarks in Irish fields, when soil moisture differences above buried features create visible variation in vegetation. If you do find yourself in the area, look for the townland boundary zone between Deanestown and Grace Dieu, and remember that the circle beneath the grass is around the width of a tennis court plus its surrounding run-off, hidden in plain sight under ordinary farmland.
