It measures approximately 26 metres in diameter, and what distinguishes it is not any dramatic feature rising from the ground but rather the subtler grammar of Irish field archaeology: a scarp, which is a steep earthen slope or edge, and a fosse, an accompanying ditch, together tracing out a ring that has held its shape across centuries of agricultural change.

The earthwork appears on the 1897 edition of the Ordnance Survey Ireland 25-inch map, where it is recorded as a raised circular area defined by precisely this scarp-and-fosse arrangement. That map series, produced in the final decades of the nineteenth century, captured a remarkable amount of field detail across the country, and its documentation of features like this one has since proved invaluable for tracking what has survived and what has been lost. The surrounding land has been reclaimed for pasture at some point in the intervening years, a process that has flattened and smoothed much of the surrounding terrain. The earthwork itself, however, persisted. A Google Earth orthoimage from September 2019, compiled as part of a record by Martin Fitzpatrick and uploaded in June 2021, shows the circular form still legible from above, defined now not by obvious earthworks but by a ring of differential vegetation, the kind of subtle discolouration and growth variation that tends to betray buried or disturbed ground beneath.

The site sits in ordinary working farmland, and visiting it is less a matter of dramatic discovery than of careful looking. The vegetation signature visible from aerial imagery may or may not be apparent at ground level depending on the season; late summer, when grass growth slows and moisture variation in the soil becomes more pronounced, often offers the best chance of seeing such marks from a distance. The railway track to the south serves as a useful orientation point when approaching across open pasture. As with most earthworks of this kind, the surface impression is modest, but the scarp edge, if it remains intact, should be detectable underfoot even where the profile is low.
