Neither had appeared in any previous record. They sit roughly twenty metres apart and belong to a class of monument known as a ring-ditch, the circular trench, sometimes the eroded remnant of a burial mound or enclosure, that shows up most clearly not to the eye but to instruments measuring subtle changes in the ground beneath.

The survey, conducted under Detection Device Licence 22R0231 in connection with Wicklow County Council Planning Reference 22/544, identified both features as clearly defined ring-ditches. Archaeological test trenching under Excavation Licence 22E0502 confirmed what the geophysics had suggested. The smaller of the two is almost precisely circular, with an internal diameter of around five metres and an external diameter of roughly seven metres. A possible entrance break at the east-southeast adds a detail that hints at deliberate orientation, though what purpose the enclosure originally served remains open. The larger ring-ditch, lying about twenty metres to the southwest, encloses an internal area of approximately ten metres in diameter, its surrounding ditch averaging 1.7 metres wide and 0.82 metres deep. The smaller feature is to be preserved by record, meaning full documentation before any ground disturbance; the larger is to be preserved in situ, left undisturbed within whatever development proceeds around it.

What is quietly striking about these two monuments is how ordinary the ground above them appears. Nothing in the surface of the field would suggest their presence, and without the intervention of modern detection equipment tied to a planning process, they might easily have been built over without anyone noticing. That both survived long enough to be found at all is largely a matter of circumstance.
