An earthwork once occupied this hillside, a sub-rectangular platform measuring roughly 26 metres northeast to southwest and 24 metres northwest to southeast, substantial enough to have been carefully mapped and noted, yet apparently unable to survive into the modern era as anything a field investigator could physically find.

The platform was recorded on the Ordnance Survey 25-inch plan surveyed in 1907, drawn with enough clarity to preserve its approximate dimensions and orientation. By 1939, the OS Field Memoranda noted that local people referred to it simply as a fort, which in an Irish context usually points to a ringfort or some form of enclosed settlement, the kind of earthwork that served as a defended farmstead during the early medieval period. Whether that local memory reflected genuine continuity of knowledge about the site's origins, or was simply the habit of attaching the word "fort" to any old earthen feature in the landscape, is impossible now to say. What is certain is that when a field search was carried out in 1966, the site could not be located at all. No trace was found on the ground.

That absence is itself part of the record. Earthworks of this kind are vulnerable to agricultural improvement, deep ploughing, and the slow accumulation of activity across farmed hillsides, and it is likely the platform was simply levelled at some point between the 1907 survey and the 1966 search. What remains is a set of measurements, a map reference, and a fragment of local vocabulary that once attached itself to something real on a Louth hillside.
