The ring-ditch here survives not as any visible earthwork but as a cropmark, a ghost impression in the soil that only becomes legible from the air. When crops grow unevenly because buried ditches and features affect moisture retention below the surface, the variation shows up as subtle differences in colour and height, readable in aerial photographs taken under the right conditions. In this case, the evidence came from a photograph taken in July 1970, in which the circular fosse, the outer ditch of the enclosure, appears as a faint ring roughly ten metres in diameter.

What makes the site more interesting than a single isolated feature is the wider pattern visible in the same photograph. Two linear cropmarks extend outward from the ring-ditch, one running northwest for approximately thirty metres until it meets the outer fosse of a nearby ringfort, and a second running northeast at a right angle. A ringfort, to give the short version, is a circular enclosed settlement typical of early medieval Ireland, usually defined by one or more earthen banks and ditches. The relationship between the ring-ditch and that larger enclosure is not spelled out in the available record, but the physical connection visible in the cropmark evidence suggests these features were not entirely independent of one another. A second circular enclosure of similar dimensions lies roughly ten metres to the south, adding further density to what is, from ground level, an unremarkable patch of agricultural land.
