A circular enclosure roughly thirty metres in diameter once occupied this ground, substantial enough to be recorded on the third edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map in 1932, yet today there is nothing at the surface to indicate it was ever there.

Enclosures of this type are among the most common prehistoric and early medieval monument forms in Ireland. They typically defined a bounded space, whether for settlement, farming, or ritual purposes, and their circular form in earthwork or stone was a persistent feature of the Irish landscape for thousands of years. What makes this particular example quietly melancholy is the reason for its disappearance. A local person recalled that the site was quarried away as a source of gravel. The earthen bank or ring that the mapmakers recorded in 1932 was, at some point, simply taken apart and spread on a road or a farmyard. It is a fate that has befallen countless such monuments across Ireland, where the practical value of loose stone and compacted earth has long outweighed the significance of what was being dismantled.
