It exists, at least to the modern eye, only from the air, and even then only sometimes, depending on the season, the weather, and the year in which a particular camera happened to pass overhead.

The monument was first identified as a circular-shaped cropmark during the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986, recorded as Bruff 123, AP 3720. Cropmarks of this kind appear when buried archaeological features, such as the filled-in ditches of an old enclosure, affect how grass or crops grow above them. Buried ditches tend to retain moisture and nutrients, producing a slightly lusher, darker band of vegetation visible from altitude, especially during dry spells when the contrast with the surrounding ground is most pronounced. The enclosure does not appear on Ordnance Survey historic mapping, which suggests either that it had already been absorbed into the landscape before systematic surveying began, or that it was simply too subtle to register at ground level. An OSi orthoimage taken between 2005 and 2012 still shows the cropmark clearly enough. By the time Digital Globe orthophotos were taken between 2011 and 2013, it had vanished again, and it remained invisible on a Google Earth image captured in June 2018. The record was compiled by Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly and uploaded in July 2020.

There is no visitor infrastructure here, and nothing to indicate the site from the roadside. The enclosure sits in ordinary agricultural land, and without access to the aerial survey images, a visitor would have no way of locating the feature on the ground. The most useful approach is to consult the National Monuments Service records, where the Bruff survey image and a Google Earth orthoimage are attached to the entry. What the site illustrates, perhaps more than anything, is how much of Ireland's early settlement pattern has been ploughed, drained, and grazed into near-invisibility, surviving only in the occasional dry summer, in the right light, from the right altitude.
