It appeared on the 1838 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map, the landmark cartographic project that systematically recorded Ireland's landscape in extraordinary detail during the 1830s. That record is now among the only evidence that the feature ever existed at all.

When surveyors visited the site in May 1983, they found nothing. No earthwork, no raised ring, no trace of a boundary that might once have defined this circle on the hillside. Circular enclosures of this kind are common enough in the Irish landscape; they range from the remains of early medieval ringforts, which served as defended farmsteads, to earlier prehistoric enclosures whose original purposes are harder to read. Without surviving archaeology, it is impossible to say which category this one belonged to, or when it fell out of use. By the time the 1838 map was drawn, it may already have been little more than a faint impression in the grass. By 1983, even that was gone. Aerial imagery from 2019 shows a small housing development now occupying the site, completing the erasure that had already been underway for generations.
