A small circular enclosure, roughly ten metres across, was recorded on the Ordnance Survey's six-inch map of 1842, marked with hachures, the cartographers' shorthand for a raised or banked feature. At some point after that survey was made, the enclosure was levelled, and today the ground gives nothing away. No earthwork, no hollow, no crop mark visible to a passing walker.

What was recorded in 1842 was most likely a ringfort or a similarly enclosed space of early medieval date. Ringforts, which are circular enclosures defined by an earthen bank and ditch, were built in their thousands across Ireland, primarily between roughly 500 and 1000 AD, and served as farmsteads or places of settlement. A diameter of around ten metres would make this a modest example, more domestic enclosure than defended stronghold. Its proximity to a standing stone, located about 85 metres to the northwest, adds a layer of quiet interest. Standing stones predate ringforts by a considerable margin, often belonging to the Bronze Age, and the two features sitting so close together in the same landscape hints at a long continuity of human activity at this spot, though the nature of any connection between them is now impossible to recover. The enclosure did not survive into the present as a physical thing; agricultural improvement, drainage work, or simple ploughing over generations erased it entirely.
