What is catalogued as an enclosure, the kind of circular or sub-circular boundary that in Irish archaeology can indicate anything from a prehistoric settlement to an early medieval ringfort, appears on the first edition Ordnance Survey six-inch map of 1841 as something mapmakers were already uncertain about. Their notation suggests a possible circular quarry rather than a definitive ancient structure, and by the 1904 edition the feature was only partially hachured, meaning the cartographers indicated sloped or disturbed ground without committing fully to any interpretation.

The ambiguity has since been resolved, in the most final way possible. A large quarry now occupies the location, removing whatever physical trace may once have been legible at ground level. The site was recorded in Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien's Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary, published in 2002, but even that formal record acknowledges the enclosure is not visible at ground level. It exists, in effect, only on paper, as a classification applied to a feature that cartographers in 1841 could not quite identify and that industrial extraction has since erased entirely. The ridge remains, but the feature that gave the site its archaeological status is gone, absorbed into workings that have reshaped the landscape around it.
