Standing barely a foot and a half above the surrounding field, it blended into the low-lying ground so completely that only its more prominent neighbour made it onto the map. That oversight, noted in archaeological fieldwork carried out in 1942 and 1943, tells you something worth holding onto: the absence of a site from a map is not evidence that nothing is there.

The two structures are conjoined enclosures, circular raised platforms each surrounded by a fosse, which is the ditch dug around an enclosure to define and defend its boundary. The more westerly of the pair is the better preserved, its platform and fosse still reasonably legible in the landscape. The easterly one is shallower and its fosse incomplete, partly because the western enclosure's fosse was cut directly through it at some point, interrupting its circuit. That intersection is the key detail. Archaeological recording by O'Kelly in 1942 to 1943 concluded that the eastern monument was probably built first, and the western one constructed afterwards on an overlapping footprint, its builders either indifferent to or deliberately encroaching upon the earlier structure. The eastern platform measures roughly fifty metres in diameter. Both sit in low, flat ground, the kind of setting that seems unremarkable until you start looking at what it contains.

Today, the levelled remains of at least one of the monuments are visible as a cropmark on Digital Globe aerial photographs, the kind of faint circular shadow that shows up in dry summers when buried features affect the growth of grass or grain above them. On the ground, little may be immediately obvious to a casual visitor, which is part of the point. The site rewards those who approach it already knowing what they are looking at, ideally by consulting the aerial imagery beforehand. The record was compiled by Caimin O'Brien and uploaded to the national monument database in March 2020, which is a useful starting point for locating the precise townland and understanding what the two reference numbers, LI041-009 and LI041-060, correspond to before making the trip.
