On Ordnance Survey maps from 1842, 1904, and 1938, that gentle arc running east to south-west marks the ghost of a ringfort, a circular earthwork enclosure typical of early medieval Ireland, used as a defended farmstead. The earthwork itself is long gone, consumed by gravel quarrying sometime in the 1950s, and the quarry that replaced it has since been abandoned. What remains is a pastoral slope facing north-west, and the faint memory of a boundary line that outlasted the monument it once followed.

The site appears in a 1937 account by Broker, who noted it as one of two ringforts that had already been levelled on the lands of a man named Tim Corkery. That both were recorded as destroyed before the mid-twentieth century suggests the pressures of agricultural improvement and quarrying had already taken a toll on the local archaeology well before such losses were systematically documented. Ringforts, also known as raths, are among the most numerous monument types in Ireland, with tens of thousands once scattered across the landscape, yet a significant proportion have been lost to exactly this kind of incremental clearance.
