The 1834 Ordnance Survey six-inch map marked it in gothic lettering as a "fort", the convention used for ringforts, the circular enclosed farmsteads that dot the Irish countryside and date broadly to the early medieval period. By the time of the 1907 revision, the feature had been reduced on paper to a mere curve in a field bank, its circular form no longer fully readable in the landscape. In the ground, though, something still remained.

As recently as 1984, a curved field bank was still standing, with an external scarp roughly 1.8 metres high and a chord measurement of around 49 metres, enough to suggest the original enclosure had been approximately 40 metres in diameter. That is a fairly typical size for a univallate ringfort, the most common type, consisting of a single bank and ditch enclosing a domestic settlement. Within a decade, however, the bank had been removed entirely. By 1995 it was gone, cleared away during the kind of agricultural improvement work that quietly erased thousands of such features across Ireland throughout the twentieth century. What survived was the name: locally, people still called it a fort, preserving in speech what had vanished from the field.

There is little now to draw a visitor to the specific spot. The ridge is slight, the enclosure gone, and without the field bank there is no longer a visible monument to locate. What the site represents, in a way, is a particular kind of loss, one that was documented just in time to be measured before it disappeared, and that persists now only in cartographic records and local memory.
