The earthwork was levelled at some point after the early twentieth century, and today the tillage field that covers it gives no hint of what lies beneath. Yet the monument has not entirely disappeared. An aerial photograph taken in August 1996 caught it as a cropmark, the buried outline of the roughly circular enclosure expressing itself faintly through differential growth in the crops above, visible only from the air and only under the right conditions.

The enclosure was recorded on both the first edition Ordnance Survey six-inch map of 1840 and the revised edition of 1904 to 1905, so it was still a legible feature on the ground well into the early twentieth century. The later map also shows a small quarry immediately to the north of the monument, which may have contributed to its eventual erasure. Between that second mapping and the present day, the field boundaries to the south and east of the enclosure were also removed, further stripping away the context in which the monument once sat. A post and wire fence now runs roughly northwest to southeast just east of where the enclosure once stood. Cropmarks of this kind, where buried ditches or banks retain moisture differently from the surrounding soil and cause crops to grow at varying rates, are one of the primary ways that levelled or ploughed-out enclosures are identified across the Irish landscape, and they tend to appear most clearly during dry summers when the contrast between disturbed and undisturbed ground becomes pronounced.
