Some of the humps and depressions scattered across the field form no recognisable pattern at all, but in the south-western corner three conjoined sub-rectangular enclosures survive, laid out roughly north to south, their measurements carefully recorded: the northernmost runs 36 metres north to south and 23 metres east to west, the middle one stretches 26.5 by 36.5 metres, and the southernmost 23 by 27 metres. Field boundaries have clipped the edges of the group on at least two sides, and there is no trace of the enclosures beyond those modern boundaries, suggesting that what remains is only a portion of something once larger.

Running north to south to the east of these enclosures is a curvilinear depression about 100 metres long and nearly nine metres wide internally, defined on its western side by the bank of the enclosures and on its eastern side by a combination of scarp and low bank. The centre of the depression is slightly raised, with a hint of a shallow fosse, a ditch or trench, on either side, which is one of the features that has led to the interpretation of this linear hollow as a possible hollow-way, the kind of sunken track worn into the ground by centuries of foot and animal traffic through a settlement. A pond sits in the north-eastern corner of the field, and some of the earthworks may relate to drainage rather than occupation. But the combination of defined enclosures, a probable hollow-way, a church at Kilbragh, and the adjoining graveyard points strongly toward a former settlement, the physical remains of a community that once gathered in this corner of Tipperary. The tree-covered hill carrying Tullamain motte and bailey, a Norman fortification type consisting of a raised earthen mound beside an enclosed courtyard, is visible roughly a kilometre to the south-east, and two ringforts can be made out on the hillside to the north-north-west, giving the site a layered prehistory that the pasture quietly absorbs.
