It exists, as far as the record is concerned, only as a cropmark, which is the ghostly impression left in growing crops when buried features alter the soil's moisture and nutrients above them, causing the vegetation to grow slightly differently. From the air, in the right light and season, those differences can reveal what centuries of ploughing and weather have otherwise erased.

On 19 July 1967, an aerial photograph taken as part of the Cambridge University Collection of Aerial Photography captured what appears to be the fosse, or defensive ditch, of an oval enclosure in this part of Kilkenny. The enclosure measures roughly 30 metres north to south, tapering as it goes westward, and approximately 40 metres east to west. The cropmark is clearest along the northern and north-eastern arc of the feature, growing progressively fainter as it curves around to the south and south-west, suggesting that the ditch may survive unevenly beneath the ground, or that soil conditions vary across that side of the site. A field boundary running roughly north-north-west to south-south-east sits immediately to the east of the enclosure, visible on satellite imagery, and its proximity raises quiet questions about whether landscape divisions here have any long relationship with whatever the enclosed space once was. The enclosure itself has not been definitively dated or identified; the classification remains tentative, the word "possible" doing real work in the description.
