It appears on Ordnance Survey six-inch maps across nearly a century of cartography, each time drawn with the hachured markings that surveyors used to indicate a raised or banked enclosure, and each time in roughly the same spot. Yet when investigators went to find it on the ground, the site could not be located. A forest plantation had swallowed whatever was there.

The maps themselves tell a quietly interesting story. On the 1842 and 1937 OS six-inch editions, the feature is rendered as a hachured circular enclosure with a diameter of around fifteen metres. A hachured enclosure of this kind typically suggests a ringfort or related earthwork, a type of circular banked settlement that was constructed in great numbers across Ireland during the early medieval period, often as a farmstead or defended residence. By 1904, a different surveyor or a different method produced a slightly different reading: the same feature is shown as a raised area, this time recorded at roughly twenty metres across. Whether that discrepancy reflects genuine variation in the earthwork, different surveying conventions, or simply the difficulty of mapping a low and overgrown feature is impossible to say now. What the three maps agree on is that something was there, persisting across decades of observation, circular and elevated above its surroundings.

The forest plantation that now covers the area has made physical investigation impossible, and the site remains unconfirmed on the ground. It exists in the curious category of places that are documented without being known, recorded on maps that outlasted the landscape they described.
