The feature is gone now, or at least invisible, absorbed into a landscape that has since been shaped into a golf course. What you see on the ground today gives no indication that anything of note was ever there.

The photograph in question, catalogued as FSI 1971/470/69, is the sole recorded evidence for the earthwork. Circular earthworks of this general type are a broad category in the Irish archaeological record, encompassing everything from ring forts, which were enclosed farmsteads typically used from the early medieval period onwards, to earlier ceremonial or funerary enclosures. The notes compiled by Geraldine Stout and updated by Christine Baker do not specify which type this was, and without excavation or further survey work, it remains unclassified. What the 1971 image does confirm is that the feature sat on a natural rise, the kind of elevated, well-drained position that was consistently favoured for settlement and enclosure across many periods of Irish prehistory and early history. By 2015, when the record was last updated, there was still no visible trace remaining.

The site today lies within the grounds of a golf course, which means public access to the specific area is unlikely without permission. For those with a particular interest in aerial archaeology or the way land use can erase physical traces while leaving documentary ones, the FSI photograph itself, held in the archive of the Aerial Photographic Collection, is arguably the more rewarding destination. Anyone visiting the general Hollystown area might look out across the fairways toward any natural undulation in the ground and reflect that what appears to be an unremarkable contour was, just over fifty years ago, sufficiently distinct from the surrounding landscape to register clearly from the air.
