It was photographed and logged in 1984, then destroyed during land reclamation works in the late 1980s or early 1990s, taking with it a modest but structurally articulate piece of field archaeology. About a metre wide and half a metre high, it was built in the double-faced manner common to dry-stone construction across Ireland, two outer skins of large stones enclosing a rubble core. What made it more than an ordinary boundary was its relationship to the landscape around it: the wall curved broadly from north-east to east, following the natural contour of a limestone rise, and it was clearly not working alone.

The wall extended outward from the north-eastern side of a cashel, a type of stone-walled enclosure, typically circular, used for settlement or agricultural purposes in early medieval Ireland, though the date of this particular wall was never established. Roughly a third of the way along its length, short stub walls branched off at angles to connect with the south-west and south-east corners of a small rectangular enclosure nearby. This arrangement suggests the boundary was part of a planned system rather than a simple property marker, organising the ground around the cashel in a way that made deliberate use of the terrain. At its eastern end it met a more recent field wall running roughly north-north-west to south-south-east, one already visible on the 1916 Ordnance Survey six-inch map, and that wall too was cleared during the same reclamation works.

The site itself is undulating limestone pasture, and although the wall is gone, slight surface undulations are still said to be discernible, ghost lines in the ground where the stonework once followed the curve of the rise. The cashel it once connected to survives separately. What lingers here is a fairly common kind of archaeological loss, a feature that existed long enough to be noticed and measured, but not quite long enough to be protected.
