No earthwork survives above ground, no bank or ditch, no visible outline. The rath, as this type of early medieval enclosure is known, a roughly circular earthen boundary enclosing a farmstead or homestead of the early centuries AD, has been absorbed entirely into the working landscape, bisected by a field boundary and returned to pasture on a south-facing slope.

The 1842 Ordnance Survey six-inch map recorded it clearly enough: a circular area of approximately thirty metres in diameter, traced with a broken line that suggests even then the feature was indistinct or partially levelled. That broken line is its own small piece of evidence, indicating that surveyors of the nineteenth century could still identify something worth marking, even as the earthwork was fading. The north-south field boundary that cuts across it tells a further story of agricultural reorganisation, the slow process by which earlier features get parcelled up and incorporated into later land divisions without anyone necessarily intending their erasure. The landowner's name for the field, fort field, is a common enough survival in Irish townlands, where placename memory often outlasts the physical monument by centuries.
