By the time the third edition was published in 1932, something had already changed: the same feature was now mapped as almost square in plan, the same thirty metres across but with corners where curves had been. Whether that shift reflects actual alteration to the structure, a difference in surveying, or simply the way a degraded earthwork reads differently to different observers is now impossible to say.

Enclosures of this kind, broadly circular earthen banks enclosing a domestic or agricultural space, are common across the Irish landscape and are often associated with early medieval settlement, though they can date from a wide range of periods. What makes this one quietly instructive is the paper trail of its disappearance. The monument has since been levelled entirely. A field boundary cuts across it from north to south, and to the east of that boundary faint traces of a curving bank still survive, running from north through east to south across a span of about twenty metres. To the west, where farm buildings have been erected, no surface trace remains at all. The enclosure has not so much vanished as been absorbed, piece by piece, into the working landscape around it.
