No bank, no ditch, no raised outline in the grass betrays what was there. The site exists now primarily as an absence, legible only if you happen to consult an 1842 Ordnance Survey six-inch map, where a neat hachured circle, roughly 25 metres across, marks the enclosure that local memory and early twentieth-century record-keeping managed, just barely, to preserve.

Ringforts, known in Irish as raths or liosanna, were roughly circular enclosures defined by earthen banks and ditches, built predominantly during the early medieval period and used as farmsteads and places of habitation. This one was apparently a single-ramparted example, modest in scale, sitting on Pat Sugrue's land in what was called, with the plain practicality of rural placename tradition, the Lios Field. Bowman noted it in 1934, recording it on P. Sugrue's land with a diameter of around 26 yards. By the time Broker returned to document it in 1937, the fort had already been gone for over three decades. According to that account, it was levelled in 1905 by a man named Jer. O'Callaghan. The act was commonplace enough in agricultural Ireland, where ancient earthworks were often cleared to make way for more workable ground, but the specificity here is unusual: a name, a date, and a field name that together fix the disappearance with unusual precision.
