That detail, recorded on the first edition Ordnance Survey six-inch map of 1839, gives a good sense of how these earthworks were treated once their original purpose had faded from memory. The enclosure itself measured roughly forty metres in diameter, a scale consistent with the ring-forts, or raths, that were built across Ireland during the early medieval period as enclosed farmsteads, though the notes do not confirm a specific date or function for this particular example.

By the time the OS map was revised in 1900, the enclosure had lost even its ambiguous status as a monument with a road through it. The cartographers recorded it simply as a field boundary, its interior described as wet and marshy. That shift in how it was mapped reflects a broader pattern across the Irish countryside, where earthworks that survived the centuries were quietly absorbed into agricultural boundaries, their circular geometry preserved almost by accident rather than intent. Satellite imagery captured in July 2020 shows the site has since been reclaimed by vegetation entirely, the outline now visible only as a dense thicket of trees and scrub, legible from above but almost certainly unremarkable at ground level.
