No mound rises above the pasture, no earthwork catches the eye, and the Ordnance Survey's historic maps make no mention of anything being there. The only evidence for this site comes from the air, where, under the right conditions, the soil tells a different story.

What the aerial camera recorded on 5 January 2003, in a photograph catalogued as ASIAP (347) 5, was a cropmark, the faint but legible shadow left in growing vegetation by buried features beneath the surface. Differences in soil moisture and depth cause crops or grass to grow at slightly varying rates directly above buried ditches or walls, producing outlines that are invisible at ground level but readable from above. In this case, the pattern was tentatively identified as a ditch-barrow, a type of prehistoric funerary monument in which a burial is enclosed not by a raised mound but by a surrounding ditch, sometimes with an internal bank. A further image, an orthoimage taken from Google Earth on 25 May 2017, confirmed the presence of a small ring-ditch at the same location. The site sits in reclaimed pasture roughly fifteen metres west of a watercourse that forms the townland boundary with Baggotstown, and approximately one hundred and fifty metres to the northeast of a separate enclosure recorded nearby. The record was compiled by Martin Fitzpatrick and uploaded in June 2021.

Because there are no surface remains, a visit to the general area rather than the site itself is probably the more realistic ambition. The surrounding landscape of reclaimed pasture is privately farmed, and there is nothing to mark the spot on the ground. The site is best appreciated through the aerial photographs held by the Archaeological Survey of Ireland, where the cropmark outlines speak far more clearly than anything visible underfoot. For anyone interested in the archaeology of aerial survey, this is a useful example of how much can be registered, and how tentatively, from a single overflying camera on a winter's day.
