What was once a circular earthwork enclosure, the kind of raised ringfort that once served as a defended farmstead in early medieval Ireland, is now divided between a working farmyard and a domestic garden. The monument has been levelled, its earthen banks and ditches absorbed into the ordinary rhythms of agricultural and residential life.

The 1837 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map recorded the site clearly, marking it as a circular enclosure and labelling it simply 'Fort', which is also what local people called it. At that point the earthwork was still legible in the landscape, sitting in level pasture with Lough Ree visible roughly 130 metres to the south. Sometime after that record was made, the western half of the enclosure was built over by a modern farmyard, while the eastern half was taken into a garden. The outline that a nineteenth-century surveyor could trace has since been erased, or at best buried beneath concrete and cultivated ground.
