The first edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map, produced in the nineteenth century, recorded a roughly circular enclosure about thirty metres across, its outline apparently defined or softened by planted trees. Today, nothing of it can be seen above ground. No bank, no ditch, no faint depression in the grass. The site survives only as a mark on an old map and a line in a county inventory.

The enclosure lay some fifty metres west of a separate, presumably related enclosure in the same townland. Circular earthworks of this kind are common across Ireland, most often the remains of ringforts, which were the enclosed farmsteads of early medieval farmers and landowners, typically dating from roughly the sixth to the twelfth centuries. Whether that is what this was cannot be said with confidence, given how little survives. The tree planting noted on the first edition Ordnance Survey map is itself a small historical detail worth pausing on. Landowners in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries occasionally planted trees around older earthworks, sometimes to mark them, sometimes simply to make use of raised or uneven ground. That planting is now gone too, along with whatever earthwork it once framed.

There is nothing for a visitor to find here in any conventional sense. The site has left no visible surface trace, which places it in a particular category of the archaeological record, places known to have existed, logged and mapped, but effectively erased by the passage of time and the working of the land.
