The irregular mounds scattered across the area turn out, on closer inspection, to be the result of quarrying or land improvements rather than ancient activity. The enclosure itself offers no surface drama, no visible outline, nothing that would catch the eye of a passing walker.

What makes its existence known at all is a single annotation made by T. J. Westropp on a set of 1840 Ordnance Survey six-inch maps. Westropp, a prolific late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century antiquarian who documented hundreds of monuments across Munster and Connacht, marked the enclosure's location, and without that record it might have passed entirely unnoticed. It does not appear on any of the standard OS historic mapping, which suggests it was already indistinct or contested even then. The land around it bears evidence of quarrying activity, with traces found roughly twenty metres to the south-west and sixty metres to the west of the recorded location, and it is possible that this extraction work, combined with later land improvements, has further obscured whatever physical traces once existed.
