Not on the first Ordnance Survey sheets drawn up around 1840, and not on any edition since. The land gives nothing away to anyone walking across it; there is no earthwork, no rise, no dip, no stone. The site has no visible surface trace whatsoever.

What gave it away was a single aerial photograph, taken on 16 April 1974 as part of a Geological Survey of Ireland flight, reference GSI S.633/4. In the image, a roughly circular cropmark becomes legible in the fields below, measuring approximately 40 metres north to south and 40 metres east to west. Cropmarks of this kind form when buried features, ditches, banks, or wall foundations affect how plants above them grow, producing subtle variations in colour and height that are invisible from the ground but readable from the air, particularly in dry summers when stress marks in vegetation are most pronounced. The circular form strongly suggests an enclosure of the kind common across early medieval Ireland, though without excavation its date and precise function remain unknown. The farm buildings that appear on the Ordnance Survey maps of the area do still stand, grounding the location in the present even as the enclosure itself remains entirely buried and unacknowledged by the landscape above it.
