The structure itself is invisible at ground level, buried under plough soil and whatever crop happens to be growing that season. What gives it away is a phenomenon familiar to aerial archaeologists: the cropmark. Where buried features interrupt the soil, moisture and nutrients distribute unevenly, and the plants growing above respond accordingly, ripening faster or slower, greening more or less deeply. From the air, these differences resolve into shapes, and this particular shape is a near-perfect ring.

The feature was identified from commercial satellite imagery, specifically an orthoimage captured on 2 June 2016 and visible on both Apple Maps aerial photography and Google Earth. That midsummer date matters, as cropmarks tend to appear most legibly when vegetation is under stress, typically in dry spells during the growing season, when subtle differences in soil moisture become pronounced enough to register from above. The record was compiled by Caimin O'Brien, drawing on details provided by Jean-Charles Caillère, and uploaded to the national record in December 2022. The cropmark reveals a circular area of approximately fifteen metres in diameter, defined by two widely spaced ditches with an overall spread of around thirty-three metres. That double-ditch arrangement is suggestive of an enclosed site, possibly a ringfort or a related form of early medieval enclosure, though without excavation any classification remains tentative. Ringforts, which served as farmsteads for farming families across early medieval Ireland, typically employed a single bank and ditch, so the presence of two ditches here is at least worth noting.

For anyone hoping to see the site, expectation management is essential. There is nothing to observe at field level; the earthwork is effectively a ghost, legible only from the air and only under the right conditions. The most practical approach is to examine the relevant imagery on Google Earth, where the 2016 orthoimage can still be accessed by scrolling back through the historical layers. The field lies in tillage, meaning it is privately worked agricultural land, and there is no public access or formal designation attached to this site. Its interest lies precisely in how much remains undisclosed, a circular arrangement of ditches sitting quietly beneath ordinary farmland, noticed almost by accident in the course of someone reviewing satellite photographs on a screen.
