What was once a circular enclosure, the kind of roughly ring-shaped earthwork that appears across Ireland in various forms and periods, has been levelled entirely. Its absence is, in its own quiet way, the most notable thing about it.

The enclosure appeared on the Ordnance Survey maps of 1841 to 1842, and was still present and mapworthy when the revised edition was produced in 1897. That half-century of cartographic consistency suggests it was a reasonably legible feature on the ground at the time. It was also captured in aerial photographs taken by the Geological Survey of Ireland in 1977, meaning that at least into the late twentieth century something of it remained visible from the air, even if its condition on the ground had already begun to deteriorate. Circular enclosures of this type are common enough in the Irish landscape, often the remains of a ringfort or rath, a type of enclosed farmstead typically associated with the early medieval period, though not all such earthworks are so neatly categorised. What happened to this one between the 1977 aerial survey and the present is unrecorded, but the outcome is plain: it has been removed. C. Toal's North Kerry Archaeological Survey, published in 1995, recorded it as a known site, and that record is now effectively an epitaph.
