3 metres. They are not especially dramatic; each bank stands only about 0.4 metres high and spans around 2.5 metres in width. Together they trace a course of approximately 50 metres between two field boundaries running east to west, and together they are probably all that remains of a road that people once walked regularly, perhaps every Sunday of their lives.

The feature was recorded and compiled by Denis Power, with notes uploaded in August 2011. Its precise origins are unconfirmed, but the most likely explanation is that these are the surviving earthworks of a mass path, a term for the informal routes worn into the Irish landscape by Catholic communities walking to worship, particularly during and after the Penal era, when public Catholic practice was severely restricted and churches were often built on the margins of settlements. The path here appears to lead northward toward Ballyhahill Roman Catholic Church, which sits a short distance away. Mass paths are a distinctly Irish category of historical feature, and many have quietly disappeared under improved pasture or modern land use, making even fragmentary examples like this one worth noting.

The site sits within working farmland, so access would depend on landowner permission, and there is nothing to mark it out from the surrounding fields at a distance. What a careful visitor would be looking for are the two parallel banks themselves, low and broad, running north to south across the slope. The grass covering them will likely look no different from the surrounding pasture, and the banks are subtle enough that they would be easy to miss without knowing exactly what to seek. The east-facing slope means morning light can sometimes help to pick out low earthworks by throwing slight shadows across uneven ground, which makes earlier in the day a reasonable time to look.
