This one in Carrowmore, County Limerick, survived only long enough to be drawn on a map. The enclosure that once occupied a north-west-facing slope in what is now reclaimed pasture has been levelled so completely that when the site was formally inspected, no physical trace of it remained. Even the surrounding field boundaries that might have preserved its outline in the landscape have been removed. What exists now is essentially a negative space, a place defined by absence.

The evidence for what stood here comes almost entirely from the 1841 Ordnance Survey six-inch map, which depicts an embanked oval enclosure measuring approximately 30 metres on its north-west to south-east axis and around 60 metres on its south-west to north-east axis. Embanked enclosures of this kind, broadly circular or oval earthworks defined by a raised bank rather than a ditch, are found across Ireland in considerable numbers and served a variety of purposes over many centuries, from settlement and stock management to ritual use. The Carrowmore example was recorded by Denis Power, whose compiled notes were uploaded in August 2011, by which point the monument had already been lost to agricultural improvement. The reclamation of marginal or sloping land for pasture, a process that accelerated significantly in Ireland through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, accounts for the disappearance of a great many such features.

There is, in practical terms, very little for a visitor to see at Carrowmore today. The slope where the enclosure stood is ordinary pastureland, and without the 1841 map as a reference there would be no reason to pause here at all. That cartographic record is now the monument's only surviving form. Anyone with an interest in landscape archaeology might find value in comparing the historic OS map against the current ground, noting the extent to which field patterns themselves have shifted in the intervening century and a half. The site is a useful, if sobering, illustration of how quickly earthworks can vanish once the land around them is reorganised, and how much of Ireland's earlier landscape now exists only in the archive rather than underfoot.
