On a south-facing slope of ordinary grassland, something once stood or was enclosed, roughly 32 metres east to west and 30 metres north to south, a modest but deliberate oval shape that someone, at some point, thought worth marking out from the surrounding land. Today, nothing of it can be seen at ground level.

The Ordnance Survey six-inch maps, which were produced from the 1830s onwards and remain a remarkable archive of the Irish landscape before industrialisation reshaped it, show the enclosure clearly enough for it to be plotted and measured. The 1838 edition records it as planted with trees, which may have been a decorative or practical decision by whoever farmed or owned the land at that time, or may reflect an older tradition of marking such features with planting to signal that they were not to be disturbed. By the time the maps were revised in 1946 and 1947, those trees were no longer depicted, and a north-south road had cut across the site from the north-east to the south-east, clipping the enclosure and likely disturbing whatever sub-surface traces remained. Whether the enclosure was prehistoric, early medieval, or something else entirely is not recorded; the shape is consistent with the kind of ringfort or enclosed farmstead found across Ireland in their thousands, though that identification is not confirmed here.
