Marked clearly on Ordnance Survey maps from 1841 to 1842 and again on the 1914 revision, the circular enclosure, known as a rath, has left no trace whatsoever on the ground today. A rath is a type of enclosed farmstead common in early medieval Ireland, typically defined by one or more earthen banks and ditches, and used as a homestead and enclosure for livestock. That this one has vanished entirely, leaving nothing for the eye to find, gives the site an oddly spectral quality.

What the maps recorded has since been lost, whether through land clearance, agricultural improvement, or simple erosion over the centuries. The site is mentioned in C. Toal's North Kerry Archaeological Survey, published in 1995, which catalogued many such monuments across the region. What gives the location an additional layer of quiet gravity is its proximity to a disused children's burial ground immediately to the north. These burial grounds, known in Irish tradition as cillíní, were places set apart for unbaptised infants and others considered unable to receive Christian burial in consecrated ground. They were often placed at liminal spots, beside older monuments or on parish boundaries, and they speak to a long history of unofficial, carefully maintained grief.
