No earthwork protrudes above the surface, no ring of stones marks the perimeter; the only evidence is a cropmark, the faint differential in how grass and crops grow over buried features, betraying the outline of something substantial that was here long before the current agricultural landscape was imposed on top of it.

Cropmarks form when buried walls, ditches, or pits alter the moisture and nutrient content of the soil above them, causing overlying vegetation to grow slightly differently, often only visible from the air or on satellite imagery. In this case, the enclosure came to light through aerial orthophotographs, including imagery captured by Digital Globe between 2011 and 2013. The circular form is bisected by a field boundary running northeast to southwest, a boundary that post-dates 1700, meaning the enclosure itself is likely considerably older. A second possible enclosure appears to sit immediately to the south-southeast, seemingly joined to the first, though its dimensions remain uncertain. Circular enclosures of this kind are common across the Irish midlands and are frequently associated with early medieval settlement, though without excavation the date and function of this one cannot be confirmed.
