By the time the next major survey came around in 1913, it had vanished from the record entirely, leaving open the question of whether it disappeared from the landscape, or simply from view.

Enclosures of this kind, roughly circular earthworks that once defined a farmstead, a ritual space, or a boundary, are common enough across Ireland, though individual examples can be difficult to date or interpret without excavation. What makes this particular site curious is less what it is than what it has become. When an inspection was carried out in 1993, the ground around the Easky River at Fartannan was by then a forestry plantation, the land poorly drained and level, and the tree cover dense enough that no trace of the enclosure could be found at all. It may survive beneath the roots and waterlogged soil, compressed and obscured, or it may have been lost long before the first chainsaw arrived.
