What makes its story slightly melancholy is the matter-of-fact note attached to its record: by 1995, the feature had been removed. What survives is a ghost of a monument, documented before its disappearance but gone before many people would have thought to look.

The site measured roughly 26.5 metres across, with an earthen bank varying considerably in its preservation. On the south-east side, the bank retained a base width of 5.5 metres and an external height of 1.5 metres, making it the best-surviving section. On the south-west, it had eroded to a base width of just 3 metres and an external height of 1 metre. A ringfort of this kind, an enclosed circular area defined by one or more earthen banks and typically dating to the early medieval period in Ireland, would originally have served as a farmstead or defended residence. The entrance here was notably wide, at 7 metres across the base on the south-east side, and unusually there was no visible fosse, the ditch that normally runs outside the bank and whose spoil was used to build it up. Whether that fosse was never dug, or simply vanished over centuries of agricultural disturbance, is not recorded.
