What was once an enclosure, the kind of roughly circular boundary of earth or stone that served as a farmstead or settlement in early medieval Ireland, has been levelled to the point where the ground gives almost nothing away to the casual eye. These enclosures, sometimes called raths or ringforts depending on their construction, were once among the most common man-made features in the Irish landscape, and their gradual disappearance through centuries of agriculture and land clearance is a recurring story across the country.

A field inspection recorded the site as a levelled enclosure, which places it in a large and quietly melancholy category of monuments, things that have been confirmed to exist, or to have existed, largely because someone once walked the ground and noted what the surface suggested beneath. The precise original form, whether a simple earthen bank, a more substantial ringfort, or something else entirely, cannot be drawn from what survives. What the inspection established is that something was here, and that it is now largely gone.
