Mapped in 1839 as a roughly forty-metre-wide ring, with a small pond sitting about ten metres to its south, it had vanished from the revised maps produced between 1899 and 1902, most likely levelled during the intervening decades as agricultural land was cleared and reworked.

Circular enclosures of this kind are among the most common archaeological monument types in Ireland, typically earthen ringforts or the remains of early medieval farmsteads enclosed by banks and ditches. What makes this one notable is not what it was, but the precision with which its disappearance can be dated. The 1839 Ordnance Survey, the first large-scale systematic mapping of the entire island, captured it clearly. By the time surveyors returned, it was gone. In its place, the revised map shows a pump positioned roughly where the southern edge of the enclosure would have stood, a mundane replacement for whatever ritual, agricultural, or domestic purpose the original structure once served. A field boundary running northeast to southwest now cuts across the area where the monument once stood, further obscuring any trace that might remain at ground level.
