It is the kind of site that rewards careful attention to old maps rather than a visit to any obvious landmark, because from the ground there is almost nothing to see.

The enclosure was recorded on the first edition Ordnance Survey six-inch map, surveyed in 1839, which showed it as a near-complete circle. Circular enclosures of this type are common across Ireland, and while their origins vary, many are the remains of ringforts, the farmstead enclosures built predominantly between the early medieval period and around the twelfth century, consisting of an earthen bank and ditch that defined a domestic space and provided some protection for livestock. By the time the OS revised its mapping around 1900, the geometry had already begun to break down: the southern, western, and north-north-western arc of the monument had been absorbed into an existing field boundary, with a further boundary running diagonally outside the north-eastern sector. The enclosure had not been demolished so much as quietly co-opted, its banks made to serve a more recent agricultural purpose. Satellite imagery captured in July 2020 shows the site now heavily overgrown with trees and scrub, the circular outline legible only to someone who already knows to look for it.
