What was once recorded as a subrectangular enclosure, roughly 40 metres by 30 metres, now leaves no visible trace on the surface. The ground gives nothing away.

The enclosure first entered the documentary record through the first edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map, the great nineteenth-century cartographic project that systematically recorded the Irish landscape at a scale fine enough to capture field boundaries, ruined structures, and earthworks that were already fading even then. That a subrectangular enclosure appeared on that map suggests something was discernible to the surveyors at the time, whether a slight rise, a hollow, or a distinct boundary line in the grass. Enclosures of this general type, defined areas bounded by banks, ditches, or walls, appear across Ireland in a wide range of archaeological contexts, from early medieval farmsteads to ecclesiastical precincts, and their exact function is rarely obvious without excavation. Whatever this one was, the evidence above ground has since been lost, most likely to agricultural activity in the intervening century and a half. It is now known only because someone, at some point, thought to draw it.
