When surveyors working on the Ordnance Survey's six-inch map in 1842 recorded this spot, they marked it with hachures, the small lines used to indicate a raised or sloping earthwork, tracing an arc along a northeast to southwest field fence. That arc is the surviving edge of an enclosure, the kind of roughly circular or oval earthen boundary that, across Ireland, typically dates to the early medieval period and once defined a farmstead, a burial ground, or a place of some local significance.

What makes the site quietly curious is how it persists. The enclosure survives as a scarped area, meaning the ground has been deliberately cut or built up to create a slope, and within it lies a substantial spread of stones. Such spreads can represent the collapsed remains of a wall, a structure, or earlier activity on the ground, though without excavation it is impossible to say more with certainty. The 1842 map provides the clearest fixed point in the record: by that date the earthwork was already old enough to be absorbed into the working landscape, its arc repurposed as part of a field boundary, the original function long forgotten by the people farming around it.
