The only way to see it clearly is from above, and even then, only under the right conditions. Aerial imagery captured in 2019 and again via iMAPs in 2022 reveals a subcircular cropmark, roughly 40 metres north to south and 35 metres east to west, tracing the outline of what was once a fosse, the term for a defensive or boundary ditch dug around an enclosed area. Cropmarks form when buried features like ditches or banks affect the soil's moisture and nutrients differently from the surrounding ground, causing the vegetation above them to grow in subtly distinct patterns, patterns that only become legible when viewed from altitude, and often only in dry summers when the contrast is sharpest.

The enclosure sits on a slight north-facing slope, and its perimeter is not uniformly legible even from the air. The eastern, southern, and north-western portions of the fosse show up with reasonable clarity, while other sections fade into the field. The site was first reported by Jean Charles Caillére, and remains otherwise undated and unexcavated, which means its age and purpose are open questions. Subcircular enclosures of this kind in Ireland can belong to a wide range of periods, from prehistoric settlements to early medieval farmsteads, and without further investigation there is no way to say which category this one falls into. That ambiguity is itself part of what makes it interesting.
