No earthwork rises above the fields, no visible bank breaks the horizon. The only way to see it at all is from above, in a particular kind of aerial image, where the buried outline of a circular ditch, roughly 45 metres across, shows up as a cropmark, a faint difference in the growth of vegetation caused by the soil disturbance of a fosse, or ditch, cut into the earth long ago.

The site occupies the tip of a short, low spur of land running west to east, with its northern and eastern slopes falling away beneath it. That kind of positioning, commanding a modest but deliberate vantage, is a fairly consistent feature of Irish enclosures, which range in date and function from prehistoric farmsteads to early medieval ringforts. The single fosse defining this one is all that has so far been identified. What makes the site additionally interesting is a second cropmark visible in the same imagery: a field bank running roughly west-north-west to east-south-east, accompanied by ditches on both sides, which also traces the county boundary between Wexford and Wicklow. This later boundary feature overlies the enclosure at its northern edge, meaning the enclosure was already a thing of the past when someone drew a line through it to divide two counties. The site was first reported by Jean Charles Caillére, and the cropmark itself only became visible in imagery from 2022, which is a reminder of how much of Ireland's archaeological landscape remains undocumented, waiting for the right angle of light or the right dry summer to give it away.
