A map drawn in 1940 shows it clearly enough: a hachured oval earthwork, roughly 60 metres from east to west and 40 metres north to south, sitting in level pasture to the west of a stream. Hachured markings on Ordnance Survey maps were used to indicate raised or banked ground, the kind of subtle earthen enclosure that, across Ireland, often turns out to be a ringfort or enclosure of early medieval date. Since that survey was made, the feature has been completely levelled, leaving no surface trace whatsoever.

What remains is a single standing stone at the north-eastern edge of where the earthwork once stood. Standing stones are among the most enigmatic of Irish prehistoric monuments, usually impossible to date precisely without excavation, and their relationship to adjacent enclosures or earthworks is rarely straightforward. Whether this stone predates the earthwork, marked its boundary, or was simply a coincidental neighbour in the same field, the notes do not say. The earthwork itself is gone, absorbed into the pasture that surrounds the stream. Its dimensions, while not enormous, were substantial enough to have been a significant presence in the landscape before it was removed.

The standing stone, catalogued separately, is the only physical anchor left for a site that otherwise survives only in cartographic memory.
