It appears on the first and second editions of the Ordnance Survey six-inch maps, recorded as late as 1899, yet today no visible trace of it remains on the ground. The land has been cleared of scrub at some point, but whatever that clearance revealed, it revealed nothing that could be seen and measured in the ordinary way.

The maps show an oval enclosure, oriented roughly north to south across about sixty metres and east to west across about fifty, its outline already interrupted by field walls by the time the surveyors were working. Enclosures of this kind are a common enough feature of the Irish archaeological landscape, typically the remains of a ringfort or similar enclosed settlement, structures built from earth and stone that were once the basic unit of rural life in early medieval Ireland. Over centuries, field systems spread across older boundaries without much regard for what lay beneath them, and the walls that cut through this particular enclosure suggest it had already ceased to function as a coherent space long before anyone thought to map it. Paul Gosling documented it in the Archaeological Inventory of County Galway, published in 1993, drawing on those earlier cartographic records to establish that something was once there, even if the landscape itself no longer shows it.
