It does not appear on Ordnance Survey Ireland historic maps. It cannot be made out on aerial photography taken between 2005 and 2018, whether from OSi, Digital Globe, or Google Earth. The only reason it appears in the archaeological record at all is because a gas pipeline happened to pass nearby, and the survey work that preceded it picked up something that every other method of observation had missed.

The enclosure sits at the western edge of a poorly drained area, in ground that is wet enough to have obscured whatever earthworks or soil marks might otherwise betray its presence. It lies approximately 180 metres north of the townland boundary with Rathmore South, and 390 metres to the southeast of Rathmore Castle, a separate monument of its own. The pipeline reference that brought it to light, catalogued as Site 6/28 on Reference Map 6 of the Limerick Gas Pipeline survey, offers little further detail about the enclosure's age or original function. Enclosures of this general type in the Irish midlands and west can date from the early medieval period through to post-medieval times, sometimes serving as settlement boundaries, livestock pens, or the outer limits of a farmstead, though without excavation or further survey it would be unwise to assign this one to any particular period or use. The record was compiled by Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly and uploaded in October 2020.

For anyone inclined to visit, the practicalities are genuinely awkward. The land is described as wet pasture with poor drainage, which in a Limerick context means it can be heavy going underfoot for much of the year. There is no visible surface trace recorded, so there is nothing to locate by eye once you arrive. The value of the site lies less in what a visitor can see and more in what the absence of visibility itself suggests, that archaeological features can survive in Irish farmland while remaining entirely undetectable to conventional survey. The proximity of Rathmore Castle to the northwest at least provides a concrete point of orientation for anyone exploring the broader townland.
