The site appears on the 1838 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map as a circular enclosure, the kind of feature that typically indicates a ringfort or similar early medieval settlement boundary. By the time the revised edition was produced in 1920, cartographers were recording it differently, describing it as a roughly circular pit some 27 metres in diameter. Whatever had once stood or been dug here was already, by that point, reduced to a depression.

The shift in how the site was mapped across those eighty-odd years tells a quiet story of erasure. Circular enclosures of this kind were common features of the early Irish landscape, used variously as farmsteads, enclosures for livestock, or places with ceremonial significance. Whether this one was built up in earth or defined by a stone boundary is no longer possible to say from what survives. What the two map editions together suggest is a structure that was already collapsing or being robbed of its material in the nineteenth century, leaving only the ghost of its outline readable to later surveyors. Today, even that outline has largely gone, with only the faint hollow remaining to mark where the feature once sat.
