What was once a complete ring, of the kind that dots the Irish countryside in various forms, from early medieval ringforts to prehistoric enclosures, now survives only as a gentle undulation in the ground, curving south-west along a natural contour of the land. The eastern half is gone entirely, absorbed into the structures of an adjacent farmyard.

The enclosure appears clearly on the Ordnance Survey six-inch map of 1838, with two buildings already abutting it to the east. By the time the 1916 edition was produced, cartographers could record only a south-to-northwest curve where a boundary wall ran beside the farmstead. The map, in other words, captures the enclosure mid-erasure, already reduced from a legible circle to a fragment of a line. What remains on the ground today is a slight semicircular rise on the western arc, where the old boundary coincides with a natural slope and so was spared the levelling that claimed the rest. The farmyard that consumed it was not doing anything unusual; across Ireland, ancient enclosures have long served as convenient boundaries, quarry sources, or simply obstacles to cleared. This one happened to leave just enough of itself behind to be recorded.
