A subcircular enclosure, roughly forty metres across its north-east to south-west axis and thirty-six metres in the other direction, shows up clearly in Google Earth imagery from March 2016, its outline preserved in the texture of the land long after whatever structure it once defined has gone.

Enclosures of this general form are common across Ireland, many of them the remains of ringforts, which were enclosed farmsteads typically built during the early medieval period, roughly between the fifth and twelfth centuries. They were constructed in earth or stone, used as domestic settlements, and are among the most numerous archaeological monument types in the country. Whether this particular example is of that tradition or something else entirely has not yet been formally determined. What can be said is that the enclosure has already suffered some interference: a drain running roughly north-north-east to south-south-west clips its north-western edge before feeding into a stream to the south-south-west. The site was identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère, whose work scanning aerial imagery for previously unrecorded features has brought a number of such sites to wider attention.
