Today, nothing of it can be seen at ground level. The feature survives only as an outline on nineteenth-century maps, a ghost of a boundary that the grass has long since swallowed.

The enclosure appeared on both the first and second editions of the Ordnance Survey six-inch maps, with the second edition dated to 1899. Circular enclosures of this kind are a common enough feature of the Irish countryside; they are generally understood to be the remains of ringforts, the enclosed farmsteads that were in use from the early medieval period onward, typically defined by one or more earthen banks and ditches surrounding a central living area. That no visible surface trace now survives suggests the banks were either low to begin with or have been levelled over time through agricultural activity, a fate shared by a considerable number of similar sites across the country. The name Porridgetown itself, unusual enough to prompt a second glance, offers no obvious clue to the site's origins.
