The ground is level, the grass unbroken, and nothing announces what once stood here: a circular enclosure roughly 35 metres across, the kind of defined, bounded space that appears throughout the Irish landscape in the form of ringforts or enclosures of uncertain purpose, built to mark, contain, or protect something whose nature is now largely a matter of inference.

What is known comes largely from the cartographic record. When the Ordnance Survey produced its first edition six-inch maps in 1839, the enclosure was clearly enough present to be marked. By the time the revised six-inch edition was produced in 1946 and 1947, it had disappeared from the map entirely, meaning it had been levelled sometime in that century-long interval. The site sits on the eastern side of a small ridge, itself on the eastern edge of the valley floor, a position that would have offered good views in all directions, which may or may not have been relevant to whoever originally constructed it. That original function remains unrecorded. What the first Ordnance Survey captured, and the mid-twentieth century revision confirmed as gone, is all the documentary trace that survives.
