A ringfort, or rath, is a roughly circular earthen enclosure used in early medieval Ireland, typically as a farmstead, defined by one or more raised banks and ditches. This one, however, has left no bank, no ditch, no depression in the ground. Nothing in the grass betrays it.

The 1946 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map records it clearly enough: a circular enclosure roughly 25 metres in diameter. At some point between that mapping and the present day, whatever earthwork survived into the mid-twentieth century was levelled entirely, most likely through agricultural activity. The land is level pasture now, and the enclosure has vanished into it. What remains is the map reference and the outline of a circle that once meant something to the people who built and lived within it.
