What survives is essentially a cartographic ghost, a site known only because a surveyor once drew a circle on a map and the land itself has long since swallowed the evidence.

A rath is an early medieval earthwork enclosure, typically circular, formed by one or more banks and ditches and most often associated with a farmstead of the early Christian period in Ireland. They are among the most common archaeological monument types in the country, yet many have been erased by centuries of ploughing, drainage, and land improvement. The first edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map, produced in the nineteenth century, recorded this example as a circular enclosure roughly forty metres in diameter. That survey remains the primary evidence for its existence. No visible surface trace survives today.
