Classified as an enclosure, the kind of roughly circular or oval earthwork that in Ireland can signal anything from an early medieval farmstead to a prehistoric ritual space, it leaves no visible trace at ground level. The grass grows over it, cattle graze across it, and nothing announces that anything of note is underfoot.

What confirms its existence is a single cartographic source: the first edition six-inch Ordnance Survey map of 1842, on which some feature was recorded clearly enough to warrant formal recognition more than a century and a half later. On that basis alone, the site was listed as an enclosure in the Sites and Monuments Record in 1990 and again in the Record of Monuments and Places in 1997. The 1842 survey was a remarkable undertaking, mapping Ireland at a scale and accuracy that had no real precedent, and the fact that the surveyors noted something here suggests the earthwork was at least partially legible in the mid-nineteenth century. Whatever was visible then has since disappeared beneath the surface, smoothed out by agricultural use or simply by time.
