Sitting in reclaimed pasture roughly 320 metres south-west of the townland boundary with Rathanny, this earthwork went unnoticed on historic maps entirely, leaving it to the sky, rather than the ground, to eventually give it away.

The site first came to attention through the Bruff aerial photographic survey of 1986, recorded as reference Bruff 148, AP 5/2103, when it was identified as a possible enclosure. An enclosure, in the broadest sense, is simply an area defined by a bank, ditch, or wall, and such features can date to almost any period of Irish prehistory or early history, serving purposes ranging from settlement to ritual to agricultural management. What makes this particular example quietly interesting is how little was ever confirmed about it. It does not appear on any of the Ordnance Survey Ireland historic map series, suggesting it was either too degraded to be visible at ground level during the mapping periods or was simply missed. A second, recorded enclosure sits about 250 metres to the north-east, hinting that this part of Limerick may have seen more organised activity in the landscape than the pastoral fields now suggest. As recently as September 2019, a faint cropmark, the kind of ghostly discolouration in vegetation that betrays buried features during dry conditions, was still detectable on a Google Earth orthoimage, meaning the buried outline continues to leave its trace. The record was compiled by Martin Fitzpatrick and uploaded in June 2021.

Because the feature survives as a buried earthwork rather than an upstanding monument, there is little to see at ground level on a casual visit. The most revealing views remain aerial, and the cropmark is likely to be most visible from satellite imagery taken during a dry summer, when soil moisture differences above buried ditches or banks affect how overlying crops or grass grow. The site lies in working agricultural land, so access would require the landowner's permission. Those with an interest in reading aerial photographs or satellite imagery will find the Google Earth orthoimage dated 14 September 2019 the most accessible way to observe what the ground conceals.
