Walk across the rough mountain ground today and you will find no surface trace of it. Yet it appeared clearly enough on Ordnance Survey maps in 1905 and again in 1937, and as recently as May 1977 an aerial photograph captured it still upstanding. The land has since been in the process of reclamation, and the earthwork has quietly disappeared beneath it.

What makes the site stranger is its immediate context. The same OS maps that recorded the enclosure also named the surrounding area as a rifle range, complete with lookouts and butts, suggesting the ground was used at some point as an army training area. An enclosure of this kind, a roughly circular earthen boundary of the sort found across Ireland in various prehistoric and early medieval forms, would have predated any such military use by centuries at minimum. The two things simply ended up occupying the same slope, one ancient and one considerably more recent, with the military infrastructure eventually rendering the older feature something of an incidental neighbour on a working map.
