It no longer exists in any visible sense. Walk across that field today and there is nothing to indicate that anything was ever there, yet the site is recorded, mapped, and gone all at once, which gives it a particular quality among the many earthworks of County Kilkenny.

The first edition Ordnance Survey six-inch map of 1839 captured it clearly, a circular enclosure sitting on the upper slope with a lime kiln, a small stone or brick structure used for burning limestone to produce agricultural lime, positioned about fifteen metres to its north. By the time the Ordnance Survey returned to revise that map around 1900, the enclosure had vanished from the landscape and from the record alike. The gap between those two surveys points to a period of agricultural improvement and land clearance during which countless earthworks across Ireland were levelled, ploughed out, or simply absorbed into the reorganised field systems of the late nineteenth century. At Craddockstown, a field boundary and a farm track now run northwest to southeast directly across where the enclosure once stood, carrying no memory of what they replaced.
