Roughly forty-five metres by forty metres in its rectangular extent, it was recorded on the Ordnance Survey six-inch map of 1838, yet at ground level there is nothing to see. No earthwork, no upstanding bank, no visible boundary of any kind. The landscape has absorbed whatever once defined it.

Rectangular enclosures of this kind in Ireland are generally understood to be early medieval in origin, typically associated with settlement or ecclesiastical use, though without excavation it is rarely possible to say more with confidence. What makes this one quietly interesting is precisely the gap between its cartographic presence and its physical absence. The surveyors who produced the 1838 Ordnance Survey mapping were meticulous fieldworkers, and the fact that they recorded a defined rectangular boundary here suggests something was legible in the landscape nearly two centuries ago that is no longer so today. Whether that boundary was already reduced to a slight rise in the ground, or whether it has since been levelled by forestry activity or cultivation, is unknown.
