It was considered significant enough to be marked as an antiquity on the Ordnance Survey's six-inch map of 1837, and it continued to appear on subsequent editions of those maps. Today, no trace of it can be detected in aerial imagery. It is, in the most literal sense, a place that exists only on paper.

The 1837 Ordnance Survey mapping of Ireland was a remarkable undertaking, and its six-inch series remains one of the most detailed records of the pre-Famine landscape. Antiquities were flagged deliberately by surveyors who recognised earthworks, enclosures, and platforms as remnants worth noting, even when their origins or functions were unclear. An oval platform of this size could have served any number of purposes across different periods, from an early medieval enclosure to a later agricultural feature, but without excavation or surviving physical evidence, nothing more specific can be said about this one. What the maps do confirm is that it persisted in the landscape long enough to appear across multiple editions, suggesting it was a reasonably substantial feature for much of the nineteenth century. Its disappearance since then, detectable through modern aerial photography, is itself a quiet record of how thoroughly land use and improvement can erase what centuries had preserved.
