What makes this fragment of landscape in Glennameade particularly curious is not any single dramatic feature, but the suggestion that the land has been directing people in roughly the same direction for a very long time, the new road and the old trackway lying almost side by side across low grazing pasture.

The site was identified by Celie O'Rahilly during a field survey carried out in 1991. O'Rahilly noted that the feature sits at the northern extremity of the survey area, close to the Limerick to Foynes road, and described a series of these low banks, one of which appears to follow a course parallel to the modern road just inside the field boundary. More intriguing still is a small lake to the west of the banks, which has been divided by a causeway. O'Rahilly suggested this causeway may represent a continuation of the same track, carrying it across the water rather than around it. A causeway of this kind, essentially a raised or reinforced crossing built to keep a route passable through wet or flooded ground, would have been a practical and relatively common solution in low-lying Irish terrain. Within roughly 90 to 127 metres of the trackway, field records also note the presence of two possible enclosures, the kind of roughly circular or sub-rectangular earthwork boundaries often associated with early medieval settlement, which hints that this corner of Glennameade saw sustained human activity over a long period. The feature remained visible on a Google Earth orthoimage taken in March 2012, compiled as part of the record by Fiona Rooney and uploaded to the national monuments database in June 2020.

The trackway sits on private low-lying farmland, and there is no formal public access to the field itself. The most practical view for anyone curious about the feature is from the Limerick to Foynes road, where the boundary wall running along the northern edge of the area gives some sense of the lay of the land. The banks are subtle at ground level, as is typical of earthworks that have been grazed over for centuries, and they read more clearly from above, which is why aerial imagery proved useful in confirming their presence. Early spring, before the grass grows too dense, offers the best conditions for spotting such low relief features from a distance.
