It is roughly fourteen metres across, barely perceptible at ground level, and were it not for the old Ordnance Survey maps and a satellite image taken on a September morning in 2019, it might pass entirely unnoticed. What the maps record is a raised circular area defined by a scarp, a steep earthen edge, and a fosse, meaning a shallow ditch or trench, running from the southeast to the southwest of the feature. These are the classic components of a small enclosed earthwork, the kind that dots the Irish countryside in various states of survival.

The feature was compiled by Martin Fitzpatrick and uploaded to the record in June 2021, drawing on both the Ordnance Survey Ireland twenty-five inch mapping series and aerial photography from the Aerial Survey of Ireland, with photographs taken in May and January of 2003. On the 2019 Google Earth image, the circular outline shows not as a raised bank but as a trace defined by differences in vegetation, the sort of subtle crop or grass mark that archaeologists rely on when earthworks have been largely levelled by centuries of ploughing and land improvement. The site sits at the intersection of several field boundaries: a field boundary running northeast to southwest cuts across the northwest of the circle, another running east to west clips it at the north, and a field drain running northwest to southeast intersects it at the east. Each of these intrusions tells a quiet story of agricultural pressure steadily encroaching on whatever this structure once was.

Because the earthwork survives only as a vegetation trace and a scarp remnant, there is little to see on foot without some preparation. The OSi twenty-five inch maps, accessible through the Ordnance Survey Ireland website, give the clearest indication of the feature's position relative to the townland boundary. Aerial or satellite imagery, particularly imagery taken in dry summer conditions when soil moisture differences bring out buried or levelled features, offers the best view of the circular outline. The site lies in working farmland, so access would require the landowner's permission. For anyone with an interest in landscape archaeology, the value here is less in what stands above ground and more in the exercise of reading a field through layers of mapping, aerial photography, and the slow language of grass.
