It occupies a slight rise in the land, with a stream running roughly southwest to northeast about twenty metres to the southeast, but if you were to stand on that very spot today, you would see nothing at all. The ground gives nothing away.

The enclosure appears twice in the Ordnance Survey record, and the two appearances tell a quietly interesting story. On the 1842 edition of the six-inch OS map, it is hachured as a circular enclosure with a diameter of roughly thirty metres. Hachuring was the cartographers' method of indicating a raised or earthwork feature, a series of short lines radiating outward to suggest form and relief. By the time the 1921 edition was produced, the feature had grown slightly in the record, described now as a circular walled enclosure with a diameter of approximately thirty-five metres. Whether that difference reflects a more careful survey, a change on the ground, or simply a shift in cartographic interpretation is impossible to say. What is clear is that sometime between the first map and today, the enclosure was absorbed into the surrounding improved pasture and ceased to be readable as a physical thing. Reclamation of boggy or rough ground for grazing was common across nineteenth and early twentieth century Clare, and whatever earthwork or walled boundary once defined this circle was likely levelled or buried in that process.

Circular enclosures of this kind are among the most common archaeological features in the Irish landscape. They range from early medieval ringforts, which served as defended farmsteads, to much earlier Bronze Age enclosures whose purposes are less well understood. Without excavation, this one cannot be assigned to any period with confidence. Its interest lies less in what it was than in the fact that it was recorded at all, and that the land has since closed over it so completely.
