That sort of gap is itself telling. Ireland's landscape is scattered with enclosures of this kind, low earthen or stone rings that once defined a farmstead, a garden, a ritual space, or simply the boundary of someone's world, but this one never made it into either the Sites and Monuments Record of 1986 or the Record of Monuments and Places compiled in 1995. It exists, essentially, off the books.

What we know of it comes from a 1907 Ordnance Survey six-inch map, on which the ring is clearly depicted. The OS six-inch series, produced and revised across the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, was meticulous enough to capture features that later surveys sometimes rationalised away or simply missed. That a cartographer thought this enclosure worth marking suggests it was reasonably visible on the ground at the time, even if its age and function were never formally assessed. Without excavation or documentary evidence, it is impossible to say whether the structure is early medieval, earlier still, or something altogether more recent. The forestry that now surrounds it has likely both preserved the earthwork and made it harder to examine.
