The only way to see it is through aerial photography, where the differential growth of crops betrays the outline of a ditch dug long ago. This kind of trace is known as a cropmark, and it forms when buried features such as ditches retain more moisture than the surrounding soil, causing the vegetation directly above them to grow slightly taller or greener, particularly during dry summers when the contrast becomes most pronounced.

What the aerial images reveal here is a roughly circular enclosure approximately forty metres in diameter, defined by a single fosse, which is the archaeological term for a ditch, often dug to demarcate or defend an enclosed area. The feature was first identified by Cathy Davin from Ordnance Survey Ireland imagery captured in 2005, making it a relatively recent addition to the record of known sites in this part of Wexford. The landscape around it is fairly level, which may be part of why the site left no obvious surface trace; without the tell-tale rise of a bank or the depression of a hollow, there is simply nothing to catch the eye at ground level. Circular enclosed sites of this general form are found across Ireland and can date from the prehistoric period through to the early medieval, though without excavation it is not possible to say more about the age or purpose of this particular example.
