What was recorded on the first Ordnance Survey maps as a small circular enclosure, labelled simply "Fort", had already begun to disappear from the visible landscape by the time the cartographers returned in 1914. By then, only a ring of trees gave any indication that something deliberate once occupied this gentle rise in the ground.

The 1837 edition of the OS six-inch map shows a neat circular enclosure, its boundary planted with trees at intervals. This kind of feature is most likely a rath, the term for a ringfort, an earthen-banked enclosure typically dating from the early medieval period and used as a defended farmstead or residence. Raths are common across Ireland, though many have been levelled or built over. What makes this one slightly unusual is the suggestion that it may have been landscaped, meaning the enclosure was not simply left to decay but was deliberately shaped or managed at some point, perhaps as a decorative or ornamental feature on improved farmland. By 1914, the earthworks themselves had either been removed or had subsided to the point where only the tree planting remained as evidence. Today, nothing is visible at ground level at all.
