It is easy to miss entirely, and that is rather the point: the enclosure that once occupied this ground has been almost completely erased, leaving only a fragment of its former outline folded into the landscape as though it were just another fence line.

Ordnance Survey maps from 1842, 1904, and 1937 all show a hachured circular enclosure approximately 40 metres in diameter, the kind of feature that archaeologists recognise as a rath, an early medieval farmstead typically enclosed by one or more earthen banks and ditches. By 1939, when P. J. Hartnett visited and recorded the site, the northern rampart was already low, though the southern section still stood to a height of around five feet, with a discernible entrance to the east. At that point it was still a legible monument. Then, around 1920, stone had been quarried from it, which accelerated the degradation, and by approximately 1970 the landowner levelled what remained during a field fence clearance. That sequence, gradual quarrying followed by deliberate levelling for agricultural convenience, is a common story for ringforts across Ireland, particularly those that fell into tillage ground where earthworks impede machinery and ploughing.
