Nothing marks it out to a passing eye, and yet the ground itself preserves the faint memory of a structure that was once substantial enough to be mapped.

The 1838 Ordnance Survey six-inch map recorded a circular embanked enclosure here, somewhere between twenty and twenty-five metres in diameter, and tentatively identified as a rath. A rath is an early medieval ringfort, typically a circular area enclosed by one or more earthen banks and ditches, used as a farmstead or place of residence. By the time later OS editions were produced, the feature had disappeared from the cartographic record entirely, levelled at some point in the intervening years. When the site was inspected in 1997, the enclosure itself was long gone, but its footprint remained legible as a roughly circular area of between sixteen and twenty metres across, distinguished from the surrounding pasture mainly by the texture of the soil and the behaviour of the grass growing over it. The trees planted in the early 1990s now surround the spot, which adds a layer of accidental preservation, screening a place that has otherwise been entirely erased from the visible landscape.
