No earthwork rises above the surface, no stones mark a boundary, and a walker crossing the field would notice nothing unusual underfoot. The site reveals itself only from the air, where differences in soil moisture and crop growth betray the outlines of buried features below, a phenomenon known as a cropmark. What those cropmarks show is a rectangular enclosure measuring roughly sixty metres north to south and forty metres east to west, its perimeter defined by a single fosse, or ditch, dug into the ground by people who left no other obvious trace.

The enclosure is not the only feature hiding in the soil. Within its northern end sits a ring-ditch approximately fifteen metres in diameter, a circular ditched feature that in Irish archaeology is often associated with funerary or ritual activity, though its precise function here remains unexcavated and unknown. The site sits within what appears to be a broader rectangular field system, suggesting that at some point the enclosure was incorporated into, or perhaps predated, a more organised agricultural landscape. The cropmarks were first identified through aerial photography and have since been captured in images taken in July 2018 by a drone-mounted camera operated by Páid Bates of Skypix Aerial Works, which brought a new level of clarity to what had previously been visible only in older photographic series.
