Not because it is lost, or because its location is unknown, but simply because the briars and gorse growing over and around it are too dense to push through. It sits there, recorded but unread.

What is known is spare but suggestive. The enclosure is roughly circular, about ten metres in diameter, defined by the surviving lower courses of a stone wall approximately one metre thick and sixty centimetres high. Circular stone enclosures of this kind appear across Ireland in various forms and periods, from early medieval cashels, which were fortified farmsteads enclosed by a dry-stone wall, to smaller field or garden enclosures of much later date. The wall thickness here, around a metre, is consistent with the more substantial end of that tradition, though without access to the interior, or to any associated finds or features, nothing more specific can be said. The coniferous wood surrounding it, growing on boggy ground, has done a thorough job of keeping its secrets.
