What was once a legible earthwork, defined by a scarp and measuring approximately 35 metres on its longest axis, seems to have vanished between one satellite photograph and the next. The Digital Globe orthoimage taken sometime between 2011 and 2013 shows it clearly, as does a Google Earth image from September 2019. By June 2021, according to the record compiled by Martin Fitzpatrick, no surface remains were visible at all. That kind of documented erasure, spanning less than a decade of aerial imagery, is precisely the sort of quiet loss that makes sites like this worth noting.

The earthwork sits in wet pasture at the edge of a conifer plantation in the townland of Curraghturk, about 40 metres south of a stream that also serves as the boundary with the neighbouring townland of Ballylanders. A scarp, which is essentially a natural or man-made slope marking the edge of a raised area, defined the monument's outline. Its dimensions, roughly 35 metres northwest to southeast and 20 metres northeast to southwest, are consistent with a small enclosure, and indeed a separate enclosure monument lies about 200 metres to the northeast. What the earthwork originally was, whether a ringfort, a field enclosure, or something else, is not recorded in the available notes. What is clear is that it was not considered significant enough to be mapped during the first Ordnance Survey of Ireland in 1840, but it does appear on the revised 25-inch edition of 1897, suggesting it was at least recognisable as a raised feature in the Victorian period.

The site is not accessible as a visitor destination in any formal sense, and given that recent satellite imagery suggests nothing survives above ground, there would be little to see on a visit today. The interest here is as much archival as physical. Anyone researching the area would find the 1897 Ordnance Survey 25-inch map a useful starting point for locating the approximate position, and the townland boundary stream, running just to the north, provides a practical landmark. The eastern side of the monument was already compromised by a field boundary running northwest to southeast before it disappeared entirely, a reminder that even modest earthworks face steady pressure from agricultural change and drainage works in low-lying, wet ground like this.
