A circular feature roughly twenty metres across, it was recorded on the 1914 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map, and that cartographic trace is very nearly all that remains of it as a knowable thing. At ground level today, a coniferous plantation has swallowed the site entirely, making any direct observation of the feature impossible.

The six-inch OS maps, produced across successive editions from the mid-nineteenth century onwards, were the primary tool through which Ireland's landscape was systematically documented, and features that appeared on one edition sometimes vanished from later ones, either because they had genuinely disappeared or because revisers judged them too ambiguous to retain. This earthwork falls into a category familiar from Irish archaeology: circular earthen enclosures of uncertain date and function, potentially ringforts, which were once among the most common monument types in the country. A ringfort, to use the general term, is a roughly circular enclosure defined by one or more earthen banks and ditches, most commonly associated with early medieval settlement, though some examples are older. Whether this particular feature is a ringfort, a later enclosure, or something else entirely, the surviving evidence does not say.
