A ring barrow, a type of low circular earthen mound typically associated with Bronze Age burial practice, once occupied this corner of County Kilkenny. It was recorded, revised, and eventually erased, all within the span of living memory.

The monument appeared on the first edition Ordnance Survey six-inch map of 1839, noted as a sub-rectangular enclosure, and was still present enough to be recorded again on the 1948 revision, described by then as a relatively small enclosure. The fosse, the shallow ditch that typically surrounds the central mound in a ring barrow and helps define its circular boundary, measured roughly 24 metres in internal diameter, with an overall diameter of around 30 metres. Sometime around the year 2000, the monument was levelled. What was a feature visible on the ground for well over a century and a half was removed within a generation of its most recent survey. Satellite imagery captured between 2005 and 2012 still showed the outline of the fosse from the air, a ghostly ring pressed into the earth even after the physical structure above ground had been lost.
