An aerial photograph designated GB90.CO.13 captured it clearly enough: a route of roughly 100 metres in length, defined not by surviving road surface but by two parallel fosses, or ditches, cut into the earth on either side. These flanking ditches, running in a roughly north-north-west to south-south-east direction, are what betray the trackway's presence. The road itself is long gone; what remains is essentially its ghost, pressed into the ground.

The trackway lies approximately 100 metres south-west of a ringfort, a type of enclosed farmstead that was the most common form of rural settlement in early medieval Ireland, typically consisting of a circular area surrounded by an earthen bank and ditch. That proximity is unlikely to be coincidental. Roads and ringforts are often found in association, since any inhabited enclosure would have required reliable routes connecting it to fields, neighbours, and wider networks of movement. Immediately to the south of the trackway, a cluster of ring-ditches adds further texture to the site. Ring-ditches are the levelled or eroded remains of prehistoric circular monuments, often burial mounds whose central earthworks have been ploughed away over centuries, leaving only the encircling ditch as a faint trace. The combination of trackway, ringfort, and ring-ditches in this small area of Kilkenny suggests a landscape that was in continuous use across several distinct periods, each generation leaving its own shallow impression in the soil.
