It survives only as a notation, a circle drawn on the first edition Ordnance Survey six-inch map, roughly thirty metres in diameter, recorded when the land was still open rough grassland. Today there is no earthwork, no bank, no trace at the surface whatsoever.

Ringforts, sometimes called raths, were enclosed farmsteads built predominantly during the early medieval period in Ireland, typically consisting of a circular earthen bank and ditch surrounding a domestic dwelling. They are among the most common archaeological monument types in the country, numbering in the tens of thousands, yet they remain vulnerable to agricultural and developmental activity. The Gortrevagh example was captured in cartographic record before whatever levelling or reworking of the ground erased its physical form. By the time the first edition OS maps were being surveyed in the nineteenth century, the enclosure was already there to be plotted; by the time the land became a golf course, it was gone from the ground entirely.
