Aerial photographs reveal a cropmark, the faint discolouration that forms in growing crops above buried features, tracing the outline of a circular enclosure roughly 60 metres in diameter. Cropmarks like this appear because buried ditches retain moisture differently from the surrounding soil, causing the crops above them to grow taller or ripen more slowly, a difference invisible at ground level but legible from altitude.

The enclosure sits on a broad north-to-south ridge, a position typical of the ringfort tradition. Ringforts, known in Irish as raths when defined primarily by earthen banks and ditches, were the most common form of rural settlement in early medieval Ireland, generally dating from around the fifth to the twelfth century. This one is defined by a single narrow fosse, the term for a ditch cut into the earth, with a gap indicating an entrance on the south-south-west side. That entrance orientation is not unusual for the type; south or south-west facing gaps appear frequently, possibly for practical reasons related to shelter and prevailing winds. Beyond its position on the ridge and the outline captured in those aerial photographs, the site has left little physical trace above ground.
