There is nothing to see from the ground. No bank, no ditch, no upstanding stone. The fields exist only as cropmarks, those faint but legible signatures that buried features leave on the surface of growing vegetation when soil moisture and crop stress conspire to make the invisible briefly visible from the air.

The system came to light through aerial photography carried out on 3 November 1984, during survey work associated with a Bord Gáis pipeline. The photographs, taken at a scale of 1:5000 and cross-referenced against Ordnance Survey Ireland mapping, revealed a series of rectangular cropmarks arranged on a north-south and east-west grid, the classic geometry of a levelled field system. An enclosure recorded separately under the reference LI022-063002 sits within the same area, suggesting the fields were once part of a broader organised landscape. When archaeologists from the Archaeological Survey of Ireland visited the site on the ground in 2000, they found no surface traces whatsoever; the slope offered nothing to the eye. The cropmarks reappeared, however, on Digital Globe ortho-imagery captured between 2011 and 2013, and again on a Google Earth image dated 14 February 2020, confirming that the buried remains are still readable from altitude, decades after their first recorded appearance.

Because there is nothing visible at ground level, this is less a place to visit in the conventional sense and more one to explore through aerial and satellite imagery. The Google Earth orthoimage from February 2020 is publicly accessible and shows the cropmark traces on the slope with reasonable clarity; February tends to be a useful month for this kind of observation, when low vegetation and winter moisture help differentiate buried features from the surrounding soil. The site sits within working pasture, so access to the land itself would require the landowner's permission. The record was compiled by Martin Fitzpatrick and uploaded to the national sites database in August 2020.
