It survives only as a cropmark, a faint discolouration in aerial photography taken in 1971, where buried earthworks cause overlying crops or grass to grow and colour differently from the surrounding land. What was once a roughly wedge-shaped boundary, recorded on the first Ordnance Survey six-inch map of 1839, had by the time of the 1900 revision been levelled entirely, erased so thoroughly that it leaves no trace at ground level today.

This enclosure is one of four that once sat in close proximity to one another on gently rising ground, the land climbing from a river bottom toward higher terrain to the east. The four ran in an east-west line, and together they appear on that 1839 map as a cluster of defined, bounded spaces. By 1900 all four had vanished from the revised mapping, suggesting they were levelled somewhere in the intervening six decades, most likely cleared for agriculture as the nineteenth century reshaped so much of the Irish countryside. The enclosure in question sits roughly fifteen metres east of its westernmost neighbour and, despite its wedge shape as originally mapped, appears in the 1971 aerial photograph as a sub-rectangular form, approximately thirty metres north to south and forty metres east to west. It is conjoined along its eastern side with a third enclosure in the group. An enclosure, in the archaeological sense, typically refers to a defined area bounded by a bank, ditch, or wall, and in an Irish context such features often relate to early medieval settlement, farmsteads, or ritual use, though without excavation the purpose of these particular examples remains unknown.

Because the site is entirely invisible at ground level, there is nothing to observe on a visit to the field itself. Its interest lies precisely in that invisibility, in the gap between what mid-nineteenth-century surveyors recorded and what the land now shows, and in what aerial photography can recover that the eye on the ground cannot.
