Cartographers working on the Ordnance Survey recorded a circular enclosure here in the early 1840s, and the feature appeared again on the revised maps of 1898, but today nothing of it can be seen on the ground. The site belongs to a category of place that is, in its own way, more thought-provoking than a well-preserved ruin: something that was once visible enough to be worth recording, and has since disappeared entirely.

Circular enclosures of this kind are common across Ireland, most often the remains of ringforts, which were enclosed farmsteads typically built between the early medieval period and around the twelfth century. They usually consisted of an earthen bank and ditch encircling a domestic area, and were the standard unit of rural settlement for centuries. The fact that this one was mapped twice across a fifty-year span suggests it had some legible form as recently as the Victorian era. Its disappearance since then is likely the result of agricultural clearance, a process that removed many such earthworks across the country once heavier machinery made levelling practical. Without any surviving trace, it is impossible to say more about its original character, size, or date.
