It no longer looks like much of anything. The ring is not visible at ground level.

When the Ordnance Survey first mapped this part of Connacht in 1838, its surveyors recorded a circular enclosure filled with trees, sitting within the demesne of Fairfield House. Demesnes of this kind, the ornamental parkland surrounding a gentry or landed estate, frequently incorporated decorative plantings arranged in deliberate geometric forms. Tree-rings, sometimes called ring plantations, were a popular feature of eighteenth and nineteenth-century designed landscapes in Ireland, planted as eye-catchers, as shelter belts, or simply as fashionable ornaments visible from the house. The field name Ring Park, recorded on that same first-edition map, implies this one had already acquired its own local identity by the time cartographers arrived. By 1985, when the site was physically inspected, the trees had been recently cleared, leaving the circular outline stripped of the planting that had defined it for well over a century.
