It never appeared on any Ordnance Survey Ireland historic maps, and for most of its existence it was simply part of the improved farmland that covers the floodplain of the Camoge River. The only reason it is recorded at all is that, from the air, the ground gave it away.

In 1986, the Bruff aerial photographic survey passed over this part of Limerick and captured what surveyors logged as a rectangular cropmark, referenced in the survey records as Bruff 180, AP 4/3607. Cropmarks appear when buried features, such as the filled-in ditches of old enclosures or the compacted soil of former walls, cause the vegetation above them to grow differently from the surrounding land, differences that are often only legible from altitude. The earthwork itself, measuring roughly 12 metres on its northwest to southeast axis and 9 metres on its northeast to southwest axis, is defined by a fosse, which is simply a ditch dug around a structure or enclosure. Later satellite imagery, including Ordnance Survey Ireland orthoimages taken between 2005 and 2012, a Digital Globe image from 2011 to 2013, and a Google Earth image dated 25 March 2017, confirmed the feature was still visible as a low earthwork on the ground. Around 16 metres to the north lies a ring-barrow, a circular burial mound type common in Bronze Age Ireland, catalogued separately as LI032-233001. Whether the two monuments are related in date or function is not recorded. The earthwork sits close to the Camoge River, which here marks the townland boundary between Ballinscoola and Kilcullane.

The site is in wet improved pasture and is actively cut by land drains, so the ground around it is likely to be soft underfoot for much of the year, and the monument itself is subtle rather than immediately obvious. The clearest appreciation of its shape comes from aerial or satellite imagery rather than from ground level. Those visiting the area in drier late-summer conditions may notice slight variations in grass growth or low earthen ridges corresponding to the fosse. The record was compiled by Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly and uploaded in November 2020 as part of ongoing survey work in the region.
