The ground gives nothing away; no rise, no hollow, no grassy ridge to catch the low light of an autumn afternoon. The site survives purely because nineteenth-century Ordnance Survey cartographers recorded a circular enclosure roughly 35 metres in diameter on their six-inch maps, at a point some 270 metres south-east of a second ringfort that does, at least, retain its reference number.

A ringfort, sometimes called a rath, is one of the most common monument types in the Irish landscape, typically a circular area enclosed by one or more earthen banks with an external ditch, or fosse. They were built and used mainly during the early medieval period, serving as farmsteads or enclosed settlements. This particular example was classified in 1914 by a researcher named Neary as an earthen fort defined by a bank and an outer fosse, the standard form for the type. Whether it was already degraded by that point, or whether subsequent agricultural activity erased the remaining traces, is not recorded. What is certain is that no visible surface trace survives today, leaving a site that is known, catalogued, and precisely located, yet effectively invisible.
