The circle is not dramatic from a distance, but it is anomalous: a raised, sub-circular earthwork that has quietly persisted through centuries of agricultural reworking, surviving drainage schemes, field reconfigurations, and the general flattening that comes with working land. What it once contained, whether a farmstead, a ritual space, or a place of enclosure in the broadest sense, is not recorded, but the form itself is legible enough to anyone who knows what to look for.

An enclosure of this kind, a roughly circular area defined by a raised earthen bank or scarp, is a common but poorly understood feature of the Irish countryside. Such earthworks are often the remnants of early medieval ringforts, used as enclosed farmsteads, though without excavation it is rarely possible to say more than that. This particular example, catalogued as LI049-079----, sits about 65 metres west of the townland boundary with Castlecreagh and near Glenefy House. It was already old enough to be mapped by the first edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch series in 1840, where it appeared as a small circular area, its southern berm already being reused as a field boundary. By the time the twenty-five-inch revision was produced in 1897, surveyors recorded a raised sub-circular shape measuring roughly 25 metres northwest to southeast and 27 metres northeast to southwest, its southeastern and southern edges cut through by a field boundary and drainage channel that post-date 1700. The record was compiled by Fiona Rooney and uploaded to the national monuments database in October 2021.

The enclosure sits in working agricultural land, so access is a matter of courtesy rather than right of way. The ring of trees that now defines its circumference is the most immediate visual clue from any distance; on satellite imagery the circle is clearer still, the tree line describing an almost complete arc interrupted only where the later field boundary cuts across the south. Visiting in late autumn or winter, when the surrounding vegetation is lower, makes the slight rise of the scarp easier to read from ground level. The monument lies roughly 160 metres west of a second enclosure in the same area, so the two features reward consideration together, hinting at a landscape that was once rather more structured than the present pasture suggests.
