This semi-circular earthen bank near Liscahane does not appear on any edition of the Ordnance Survey, which means generations of cartographers passed through the area without recording it, or perhaps without recognising it for what it was. What remains is modest: a bank between five and eight metres wide and barely 0.6 metres high, its arc interrupted on the north-east side by a later field boundary running north-west to south-east, and cut again through its southern sector by another fieldbank on a south-west to north-east line. The enclosure, in other words, has been quietly dismantled by centuries of ordinary farming.

The site sits to the south-east of the Lissalussa rath, known in Irish as Lios an Losa. A rath is a roughly circular earthen enclosure, typically associated with early medieval settlement in Ireland, and the proximity of this smaller enclosure to its neighbour suggests the two features may once have formed part of the same landscape of habitation or land use. In 1969, the bottom portion of a quern stone and some animal bones were found here, a quern being the type of hand-operated grinding stone used to mill grain, and a common find on early medieval Irish sites. These objects, modest as they are, hint at domestic activity: people living close by, processing food, keeping animals. The find was recorded in the National Museum of Ireland's archaeological acquisitions for that year. Beyond that, the site's history is largely silent.
