Almost, but not quite. A gentle undulation still traces an arc from the north around to the south-east, the last physical trace of a roughly circular platform that would have measured approximately thirty metres across. To the untrained eye it reads as nothing more than a slight rise in the pasture; to anyone who knows what they are looking at, it marks the outer edge of a structure that once had enough presence to be clearly visible from the air and recorded in detail on a map.

That map, the Ordnance Survey six-inch series revised in 1940, shows the feature as a hachured circular platform, the conventional cartographic shorthand for an earthwork with a raised or defined perimeter. Enclosures of this kind in Cork and across Ireland are often the remains of ringforts, which were enclosed farmsteads typically built during the early medieval period, roughly between the fifth and twelfth centuries. They were constructed from earth, stone, or both, and served as the basic unit of rural settlement for centuries. Whether this particular example was a ringfort, or something earlier or later, is not recorded. What is certain is that by the time anyone thought to document it formally, the levelling was already well advanced, leaving only that faint northern arc to suggest the shape of what had stood there.
