A circular enclosure roughly eighteen metres across shows up in aerial photographs not as a physical feature you could trip over, but as a cropmark, the subtle difference in how crops grow above disturbed or compacted soil betraying the outline of a fosse, a defensive or boundary ditch, dug long ago and long since filled. The ground itself has absorbed the structure, but the archaeology has not quite disappeared.

What the photographs reveal is a roughly circular enclosure defined by a single fosse, sitting on a level stretch of land with a small stream running northwest to southeast about seventy metres to the northeast. The southern side of the enclosure appears to be open, functioning as an entrance, and a smaller ring-ditch, a circular ditched feature that in Irish prehistory often marks a burial monument, seems to block or guard that gap. A second ring-ditch is attached to the outer perimeter at the northeast. The overall arrangement, a main enclosure with associated ring-ditches clustered at its edge and entrance, is the kind of spatial relationship that archaeologists read carefully, since it can suggest that a settlement and a burial monument were deliberately placed in relation to one another, or that a site was reused across different periods. The cropmarks appear across multiple sets of aerial photographs, including the Ordnance Survey Ireland series from 2000, confirming the features are consistent and not photographic artefacts.
