A circular enclosure was recorded on the Ordnance Survey map of 1841 to 1842, plotted with enough confidence to earn its own mark on the sheet, yet by the time the revised edition appeared in 1914 to 1915, it had quietly vanished from the cartography altogether. On the ground today, no visible trace survives.

Circular enclosures of this kind are common across the Irish landscape, typically the remains of a rath or ringfort, a type of enclosed farmstead used throughout the early medieval period, generally defined by an earthen bank and ditch. That this one disappeared from the map within roughly seventy years raises more questions than the surviving record can answer. It may have been levelled by agricultural improvement in the intervening decades, a fate shared by many such earthworks across the nineteenth century as land was drained, cleared, and consolidated. A small stream runs immediately to the north-west of the recorded location, which is precisely the kind of low-lying, well-watered ground where early settlement clusters tended to form, and also where later drainage work was most intensive. Whether the enclosure was already fading when the first surveyors noted it, or whether it was removed deliberately or gradually after 1842, is simply not known.
