It is barely visible to anyone walking the ground, but from the air, a continuous shallow ditch traces an almost complete ring, roughly 7.8 metres east to west and 7.7 metres north to south, with no break that might suggest an entrance. This is a ring-ditch, a type of monument generally understood as the buried remnant of a prehistoric funerary or ceremonial enclosure, the ditch having once surrounded a central area used for burial or ritual. The flatness of the terrain means there is no upstanding earthwork to catch the eye; only aerial photography, in this case a Google Earth image from July 2021, makes the feature legible at all.

The ditch itself is less than a metre wide, and the circuit can be traced in its entirety on aerial photographs despite the slight contrast it offers. At some point before the early twentieth century, a field boundary was drawn across the northern third of the site, dividing it. That boundary appears on the Ordnance Survey third edition six-inch map of around 1910, though it has since been removed, leaving the ground looking undisturbed to the casual eye. The ring-ditch is not alone in this field. A larger and more clearly defined example of the same monument type lies roughly 207 metres to the west-northwest, making this corner of Ardoyne quietly dense with prehistoric activity. Set against that, the townland also holds a ruinous church and associated graveyard about 492 metres to the south-south-west, close to the Carlow border, and an enclosure of a different kind roughly 512 metres to the north-north-east, together suggesting a landscape layered with human use across a very long span of time.
