It survives only as a cartographic memory, an arc of hachures, the small radiating lines mapmakers use to indicate an embankment or raised feature, printed on an Ordnance Survey six-inch sheet dated 1936. On the ground today, there is nothing to see. The grass has reclaimed whatever once rose from it.

The 1936 map places the feature in the corner of a field, sketched in with just enough cartographic shorthand to confirm that someone, at some point, considered it worth recording. Earthworks of this kind in County Cork can represent the remains of any number of things: a ringfort boundary, a field enclosure, a small defensive bank. Without excavation, the precise nature and date of this particular feature remain unknown. What the map does preserve, however, is the outline of something that was still legible to surveyors in the mid-twentieth century and has since been lost to vegetation and time.
