A sub-oblong depression in the ground, measuring 22.3 metres by 12.1 metres, is all that remains where a ringfort once stood. A ringfort, or rath, is a roughly circular enclosure defined by an earthen bank and ditch, typically dating to the early medieval period in Ireland and used as a farmstead or place of habitation. This one survived long enough to be recorded on the Ordnance Survey maps of 1841 to 1842, and again on the revised maps of 1915, each time noted as a small circular enclosure. Then, in 1986, it was levelled.

The gap between 1915 and 1986 tells its own quiet story. The site persisted through partition, the Emergency, post-war agricultural change, and the mechanisation of Irish farming, only to disappear in a single year during a decade when land clearance was common and the archaeological value of such earthworks was not always recognised before the damage was done. What C. Toal documented in the North Kerry Archaeological Survey of 1995 was already a record of loss, a description of something that could no longer be visited in any meaningful sense, only noted and measured in its flattened form.
