This one in Priestsnewtown, County Wicklow, offers nothing so obliging. Standing on the gentle south-facing slope where it sits, a visitor would see only an ordinary field. The enclosure exists, in practical terms, only from the air.

What aerial photography has revealed is a bivallate enclosure, meaning a roughly circular settlement or enclosure defined by two concentric ditches, known as fosses. The inner enclosure measures approximately 30 metres in internal diameter, while a larger outer fosse, visible to the east, extends to around 85 metres across. These features show up as cropmarks, the subtle variations in crop growth and colour that betray buried ditches and banks beneath the soil, where disturbed ground retains moisture differently from the surrounding area. The site sits around 100 metres south-west of a neighbouring enclosure, suggesting this was not an isolated feature in the landscape but part of a broader pattern of early settlement or agricultural activity in the area. No date is recorded for the enclosure, which is common enough for earthworks of this kind; without excavation, they resist precise classification.

Because the site is not visible at ground level, there is little a visitor could observe in person. Its interest lies less in what can be seen and more in what the aerial record implies, a layered past quietly preserved beneath the soil of a Wicklow hillside, legible only to a camera looking down.
