It cannot be seen from the ground at all. Its existence is known only because an aerial photograph, catalogued as OS 2432/3, caught it from above, where it showed up as a faint circular mark pressed into the landscape.

What the photograph reveals is a ring-ditch, a type of monument generally understood to be the surviving trace of a prehistoric burial or ceremonial enclosure, where a surrounding circular ditch has gradually silted and settled until the earthwork itself has all but vanished, leaving only a cropmark or soilmark readable from the air. What makes this particular spot quietly remarkable is not the ring-ditch alone but its company. Within a radius of around 250 metres, there are at least two ring-barrows, a closely related form of funerary monument in which a low mound sits within or beside a circular ditch and bank. One lies roughly 70 metres to the south-east, another approximately 150 metres to the south-west, and a third around 250 metres to the east. Taken together, these features suggest that this unremarkable-looking field in Tipperary was, at some point in prehistory, a place people returned to repeatedly for burial or ritual, a small, quiet concentration of the dead gathered in wet ground that has since erased almost every trace of them.
