There are thousands of such sites across the island, but most have been so thoroughly swallowed by later agriculture or development that they survive only as crop marks or placename ghosts. This one in Tullabards Great is not entirely gone, though it takes some looking.

What survives is a subcircular area measuring approximately 51 metres east to west and 47 metres north to south, its outline now reduced to a shallow, grass-covered depression and a slight scarp, a low step in the ground surface that marks where the enclosing bank once stood. That scarp is most legible on the north-western to eastern to southern arc of the circuit, which suggests the rest has been flattened more completely over the centuries. The site sits on a gentle rise, a deliberate choice in a landscape that tends toward the flat, since even modest elevation offered improved drainage, visibility, and a degree of natural defence for the household within.

For most visitors the site would be easy to walk past without a second glance. It reads not as a ruin in any dramatic sense but as a barely perceptible irregularity in a field, the kind of thing that becomes visible only once you know what you are looking for and take a moment to read the ground rather than the horizon.
