The enclosure does not appear on that map, nor on the revised edition of 1901 to 1905, which tells its own quiet story: whatever stood or was banked here had been smoothed away well before official cartographers arrived with their instruments. It took aerial photography to find it again.

The enclosure came back into the record after an Air Corps photograph, reference V.312/3080-79, revealed the distinctive circular crop or soil mark from above. On the ground, what remains is a low earthen bank forming a near-complete ring, roughly 60 metres across north to south and 63 metres east to west. Enclosures of this type, often referred to as ringforts, were the dominant form of rural settlement in early medieval Ireland, typically enclosing a farmstead with one or more earthen banks and ditches. This example's bank is still measurable, about 5.8 metres wide with an internal height of around 0.9 metres, and a small scarp survives in the northern sector where it rises to about 0.4 metres. The bank is least pronounced in the south-east, where levelling or erosion has done its work most thoroughly. The interior itself slopes gently eastward toward the valley, with a slight, almost imperceptible rise at its centre.

The site sits on an east-facing slope, which would have given any original occupants good light and a view down toward lower ground, practical considerations that clearly mattered to whoever chose to build here. The slight central rise within the interior is a detail worth pausing over; such features can indicate the remains of a structure, though nothing in the visible evidence confirms or rules it out for this particular enclosure.
