It no longer announces itself in any obvious way. What remains is an irregular ring of mounds and hollows in the grass, the kind of subtle unevenness that most walkers would step across without a second thought.

The enclosure was recorded on the third edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map, published in 1948, which suggests it was still legible as a distinct feature at that point. Circular enclosures of this general type are among the most common archaeological monuments in Ireland, typically interpreted as the enclosed farmsteads of early medieval families, defined by an earthen bank and sometimes a fosse, or ditch. They are known more familiarly as ringforts. By the time the 1999 Archaeological Inventory of County Galway was compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra, and Paul Gosling, no visible surface trace survived beyond those residual mounds and hollows. In less than half a century, a monument that had endured for potentially over a thousand years had been reduced to a faint impression in a working field.
