The ringfort that stood here, a rath or roughly circular earthwork enclosure of the kind built across Ireland during the early medieval period as a farmstead and status marker, was levelled around 1967. Before that happened, the landscape carried its outline with some legibility, and the Ordnance Survey had been faithfully recording it for over a century.

When Bowman documented the site in 1934, it was a double-ramparted fort on land belonging to a F. Roche, measuring roughly 24 yards in diameter. The inner rampart still stood between two and six feet high, separated from an outer bank by a fosse, that is a defensive ditch, about fourteen feet wide. Only a third of the outer rampart survived by that point, rising to around three feet, and perched on its north-eastern arc was a disused lime kiln, one of those small stone-built structures once used to burn limestone into quicklime for agricultural use. That detail, a working kiln placed directly on an ancient earthwork, says something about how later generations read these sites, less as monuments than as convenient elevated ground. The 1842 and 1906 Ordnance Survey six-inch maps both show the enclosure as a hachured circle, and by the 1936 edition a fosse running roughly east-north-east to west-north-west was also marked. A field boundary running south-south-east to west-north-west appears to have been laid out in respect of that fosse, meaning the landscape around the fort adjusted itself to the monument even as the monument itself was being diminished. By the late 1960s, the levelling was complete, and today there is no visible surface trace of the site at all.
