When satellite imagery is examined closely, the outline of the structure emerges as a cropmark, a phenomenon that occurs when buried ditches or banks cause the vegetation above them to grow at a different rate or colour from the surrounding soil, effectively tracing the buried archaeology in aerial photographs. In this case, the enclosure measures approximately thirty metres in diameter and is defined by two concentric fosses, or ditches, set roughly six metres apart.

The site was identified by Jean-Charles Caillère working from Apple Maps satellite imagery. What makes the location particularly interesting is that it does not sit in isolation. Approximately thirty metres to the south-southwest lies a second, larger enclosure, and between the two run a pair of parallel cropmarks spaced about thirty metres apart and oriented on a north-northeast to south-southwest axis. Whether these linear features represent a former roadway, a drove route, or some other kind of boundary or approach is not recorded, but their apparent connection between two enclosures suggests the sites may have functioned in relation to one another at some point in the past. Enclosures of this general type in Ireland are often associated with early medieval settlement, though without excavation it is impossible to assign a firm date or function to this particular example.
