What survives of this earthwork in the townland of Curraghkilbran is now so faint that it registers primarily as a cropmark, that subtle variation in vegetation colour and growth that betrays buried or disturbed ground beneath, visible only from the air or through satellite imagery. The site was not recorded at all on the first edition Ordnance Survey six-inch map of 1840, suggesting that by that point even its surface traces were insufficient to catch a surveyor's attention.

By the time the twenty-five-inch Ordnance Survey edition was published in 1897, however, something had been noted: a roughly circular raised area approximately twenty metres in diameter, defined by a scarp, the term used for a slope or cut edge that often marks the outer boundary of an early medieval ringfort. A ringfort, to give the broader context, was typically a farmstead of the early medieval period enclosed by one or more earthen banks, and they survive in their thousands across Ireland, though many have been lost to agriculture and drainage. This particular example entered the formal record more decisively in November 1984, when aerial photographs taken for Bord Gáis Éireann led to its identification as a destroyed ringfort, catalogued as Site 3/7 in that survey. A possible second ringfort lies approximately 205 metres to the south-west, hinting that this was once a more populated stretch of ground. The site sits around 500 metres west of the River Aherlow, which here marks the townland boundary with Lyre, and 200 metres east of the boundary with Ballyfauskeen.

There is little to see on the ground today. The earthwork lies within reclaimed pasture, and whatever scarp once defined it has been reduced to the point where it no longer reads as anything obviously archaeological without prior knowledge. The most legible version of the site exists in digital orthoimagery, including Google Earth images taken between 2011 and 2013, where the faint circular cropmark can be traced with some patience. For anyone curious enough to visit the general area, the River Aherlow and the landscape of the Galtee foothills provide the broader setting, but the earthwork itself rewards those who know what they are looking for rather than those hoping for something visually dramatic at the field edge.
