It exists now almost entirely as cartographic memory, captured in the hachuring of the 1838 Ordnance Survey six-inch map, those fine radiating lines that nineteenth-century surveyors used to indicate an earthwork or raised feature in the landscape. Whatever bank or ditch once defined this small ring has since been absorbed by the soil, overshadowed by planted trees, and reduced to a faint annotation in a document nearly two centuries old.

Circular enclosures of this kind are among the more common, and more quietly puzzling, features of the Irish archaeological landscape. They may represent the remains of a ringfort, a type of enclosed farmstead built and occupied broadly between the early medieval period and the early Norman centuries, or they may be something older or altogether different in function. Without excavation it is rarely possible to say more. What the 1838 map makes plain is that the feature was legible enough in the landscape at that point to be recorded by the OS surveyors, which suggests the earthwork was still partially intact at the time of the survey. A second unidentified site sits just thirty metres to the south-west, close enough to suggest the two were perhaps related, perhaps contemporary, though again the ground offers nothing to confirm it.
