Aerial photographs taken in July 1989 as part of a systematic survey captured a regular system of rectangular fields covering around eight hectares, preserved not as earthworks but as cropmarks, the subtle variations in vegetation colour and growth that betray buried boundaries beneath the soil. The largest complete field in the system measures approximately 200 metres by 150 metres, giving a sense of the scale and deliberate planning involved.

What makes the site particularly interesting is the relationship between the field system and two enclosures at its south-western end. One of these is circular, the kind of enclosed space that appears frequently in the Irish archaeological record and is often associated with settlement or ritual use. Significantly, two of the field boundaries extend outward from the perimeter of this circular enclosure, suggesting that the enclosure was not simply placed within an existing landscape but was instead the organising point from which at least part of the field layout was planned or developed. The system has the coherence of a working agricultural arrangement rather than something that accumulated piecemeal, though without excavation the dating remains open.
