This archaeological feature, measuring approximately 88 metres northwest to southeast and 74 metres northeast to southwest, reveals itself only through aerial photography as a distinctive cropmark with characteristically rounded corners. The site occupies a spot in the undulating countryside where the land naturally dips and rises, creating the perfect conditions for ancient earthworks to leave their subtle marks on the landscape.

Historical records tell an intriguing story of gradual disappearance. The 1904 Ordnance Survey map clearly marked this location as having visible earthen banks forming the eastern and southern sides of an enclosure, complete with a small pond at the northern end of the eastern bank. Today, however, locals report no knowledge of any fort in this field, and indeed, nothing can be seen at ground level. The monument has effectively vanished from view, swallowed by over a century of agricultural activity and natural processes.

This type of site represents a fascinating aspect of Irish archaeology; monuments that exist in a liminal space between presence and absence, visible only through specific technologies or under particular conditions. While the earthworks that once stood proud enough to warrant inclusion on early 20th century maps have been levelled, the soil still holds memory of the past, revealing through cropmarks the ghostly outline of what was likely a medieval moated site or earlier defensive enclosure.
