The site sits at the summit of an east-west orientated ridge, with a road running roughly northwest to southeast just eight metres to the south, close enough to suggest the two features were never entirely strangers to one another.

What makes the spot particularly interesting is its relationship with a neighbouring ringfort, one of the circular earthwork enclosures that dot the Irish countryside in their thousands, typically dating from the early medieval period. The ringfort sits immediately to the north, and at the upper break of its scarped, or artificially cut, northern edge there is a shallow rectangular depression measuring roughly four metres east to west, two metres north to south, and only thirty centimetres deep. Its purpose is not clear. It is too slight and too ambiguous to read confidently as a structure, a pit, or any particular feature, and it has been recorded simply as a depression of uncertain significance. That kind of honest uncertainty is worth pausing on. Not every mark left in the ground announces itself, and this one has so far declined to do so.
