Roughly 38 metres across at its widest, it is labelled as a circular enclosure, one of the most common yet persistently enigmatic features of the Irish rural landscape. These enclosures, often referred to as ring forts or raths depending on their construction, were typically built during the early medieval period as enclosed farmsteads, the circular bank and ditch defining a domestic and defensive boundary around a household. Whether this particular example retains any visible earthworks, or has been reduced to little more than a cropmark and a cartographic annotation, is difficult to say. What the record offers is a diameter, a shape, and a note that access was denied.
