The Ordnance Survey's six-inch map of 1840 makes no mention of it whatsoever, which is curious given that these surveys were remarkably thorough in noting earthworks of this kind. By the time the revised five-inch map was published in 1897, the monument had been recorded, depicted as a roughly circular raised area with an interior diameter of around 30 metres and an exterior of around 40 metres, by then already planted with trees. Whether it was overlooked in 1840 or simply too degraded at that point to warrant inclusion is now difficult to say.

A rath, as ringforts are sometimes called, is a circular enclosure defined by an earthen bank and ditch, typically dating from the early medieval period in Ireland, roughly 500 to 1200 AD, and associated with farming settlement and the protection of livestock. This particular example sits in pasture on a gentle north-east facing slope within Faha Demesne, around 330 metres north-west of the ruins of Faha House. The surviving bank encloses that circular area of 30 metres in diameter. The bank itself stands approximately 0.4 metres high on the interior face and 0.9 metres on the exterior, with a base width of just over six metres. It has been disturbed on all sides by animal activity and by dumped material, and the interior is described as undulating and densely overgrown. The record was compiled by Martin Fitzpatrick and uploaded in June 2020.

The outline of the monument, still ringed by its canopy of trees, is visible on Google Earth imagery taken in November 2019, which gives a reasonable sense of its form before you set foot anywhere near it. On the ground, the enclosing bank is legible despite the damage, though the overgrown interior makes close inspection difficult. The site sits in working pasture, so access would require landowner permission. The tree cover that once seemed incidental to the monument now serves as its most reliable marker, a rough dark circle in an otherwise open field that has been quietly sitting there, largely unnoticed, for well over a thousand years.
