It has no visible walls, no earthen bank, no surface feature of any kind. What remains is a cropmark, a ghostly outline that only becomes legible from the air, when the buried ditches beneath the soil cause the grass or grain above them to grow at a slightly different rate, betraying the presence of something buried below.

The cropmark, recorded during an aerial survey in July 1989, shows a roughly circular enclosure approximately forty metres in diameter. The feature that makes it particularly interesting is a second, concentric fosse, a ditch dug around the outside of the first, traces of which were noted along the southern side. A fosse of this kind was typically cut to define and defend a settlement, and the double-ditch arrangement suggests this was a site of some significance, possibly a ringfort, the most common monument type in the Irish landscape and one usually associated with early medieval farmsteads. Ringforts, sometimes called raths or lios, were enclosed homesteads in which a family and their livestock sheltered, bounded by one or more earthen banks and their accompanying ditches. That two concentric ditches appear here, even partially, points toward a more elaborate construction than the single-fosse norm.

Because the enclosure survives only as a cropmark, there is nothing physically present for a visitor to observe at ground level. The site belongs to a category of monument that exists more fully in archives and overhead photography than in the field itself, a reminder that a great deal of Irish archaeological evidence is imperceptible without the right conditions of light, season, and altitude.
