Today there is almost nothing left to see. A deposit of field clearance stones and a tangle of dense vegetation mark the spot where a circular earthen enclosure once stood, and the underground passage at its centre has been filled in. The site survives more completely in cartographic memory than it does in the ground.

The first edition of the Ordnance Survey map recorded both the circular enclosure and what it labelled a souterrain, an underground stone-lined passage of the kind commonly found associated with early medieval ringforts in Ireland, typically used for storage or as a place of refuge. By the time the second edition of the OS map was produced, the enclosure itself had apparently ceased to register as a visible feature; only the souterrain was noted, marked simply as a 'Cave'. That quiet demotion from ringfort to cave tells its own story about how quickly earthworks can be absorbed back into the landscape once they fall out of use and out of memory. The ridge the fort occupied would have made it a practical choice for its original builders, offering clear sightlines across the surrounding terrain, which is a quality that mattered considerably for the small farming communities who built and occupied these enclosures during the early medieval period, roughly between the fifth and twelfth centuries. The souterrain, according to local information, has since been infilled entirely.
