A circular enclosure roughly fifteen metres across, it was recorded on the Ordnance Survey six-inch map of 1842, presumably visible then as a low earthwork or ring of disturbed ground, but today it leaves no surface trace at all. The grass grows over it without interruption, the sheep graze across it, and nothing marks the spot as anything other than a south-south-west-facing slope with a decent view of the bay below.

Circular enclosures of this kind are among the most common archaeological features in the Irish landscape, and among the most quietly mysterious. Most are presumed to be the remains of ringforts, the enclosed farmsteads of early medieval Ireland, in which a family and their livestock lived within a bank and ditch of earth or stone. A diameter of around fifteen metres sits at the smaller end of the scale, suggesting a modest settlement rather than a high-status one. Whether this particular enclosure was ever a ringfort, or something older or different entirely, cannot be said with confidence. It was noted and mapped in the nineteenth century, catalogued in the late twentieth, and has since faded from view altogether, its archaeology unexcavated and its original purpose unresolved.
