Somewhere in the rolling grassland of this Co. Kilkenny townland, at the point where upland terrain gives way to the gentler slope of a valley, lies an enclosure that has effectively ceased to exist above ground. The monument has been levelled entirely; modern farm buildings now occupy its southern portion, and a visitor standing on the site today would have no way of knowing they were standing on anything at all.

The enclosure survived long enough to be recorded on the first edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map in 1839, and again on the 1900 revision, where it appeared as a roughly circular earthwork, approximately 48 metres north to south and 50 metres east to west. An enclosure of this kind would typically have been a raised bank defining a domestic or agricultural space in the early medieval period, though what activity it once contained is no longer recoverable from what remains. One feature made it slightly unusual even on paper: the bank in the south-east and south-west sectors was straight rather than curved, giving the overall shape a flattened, sub-circular character rather than a true ring. That detail is now the most complete record of what was there. The OS maps, separated by roughly sixty years, offer a before-and-after of a kind that is common in Irish archaeology but no less sobering for that: a feature prominent enough to be plotted twice, then erased entirely between one generation and the next.
