What was once recorded as a circular embanked enclosure, roughly thirty metres in diameter, has been levelled so thoroughly that the only surviving evidence is a shallow arc of depression, no more than about forty centimetres deep and just over ten metres wide. It curves from east-south-east to west-north-west, stopping at a field boundary on both ends, and in doing so traces out a roughly D-shaped area a little under ten metres across. The enclosure, in this context, refers to a ringfort or similar enclosed settlement, the kind of circular earthwork, typically formed by a bank and ditch, that was used for habitation and farming in early medieval Ireland. Here, virtually all of that structure is gone.

The 1841 Ordnance Survey six-inch map, one of the most detailed early cartographic records of the Irish landscape, clearly depicted the enclosure as it then existed. By the time Denis Power compiled the site record, uploaded in August 2011, the earthwork had been reduced to that single faint arc. The area to the north of the field boundary is described as noticeably uneven, suggesting some disturbance beneath the surface, but no discernible trace of the enclosure continues there. Agricultural levelling over the intervening century and a half had done its work quietly and almost completely.

For anyone who wants to visit, the site sits in ordinary farmland and there is no formal access or signage. The depression is subtle enough that without knowing what to look for, and roughly where to stand, it would be easy to walk across the site without registering anything unusual at all. Low-angle morning or evening light in autumn or winter, when vegetation is short, offers the best conditions for reading slight changes in ground level. The field boundary itself is the practical reference point: the arc terminates against it at both ends, so following that boundary and scanning the ground to its south is the most reliable approach. What you are looking at, if you find it, is the last faint outline of something that was already old when it was first mapped nearly two centuries ago.
