A small circular enclosure, somewhere between twelve and fifteen metres in diameter, once sat in this landscape, visible enough to be recorded on the Ordnance Survey six-inch maps of 1837 to 1838 and again on the 1922 edition. It has since been levelled, leaving no surface trace. What it actually was remains genuinely uncertain: it could have been a domestic structure, a burial mound, or something else entirely that does not fit neatly into either category.

The ambiguity is not unusual for monuments of this kind. A barrow is a burial mound, typically prehistoric, while an enclosure in the archaeological sense is simply a defined area bounded by a bank or ditch, which might have served any number of purposes across a very wide span of time. Without excavation, the two can be difficult to distinguish even when upstanding remains survive, and here nothing survives at all. What lends the site a small additional layer of interest is that a possible rath sits roughly fifty metres to the south-west. A rath, sometimes called a ringfort, is a circular earthwork enclosure associated primarily with early medieval settlement in Ireland, and their presence in pairs or clusters is not uncommon. Whether the two features here were ever related in function or period, no one currently knows.
