Though it appeared on both the 1840 and current Ordnance Survey six-inch maps, the monument met an unceremonious end around 1970 when it was levelled for agricultural use. Today, only the faintest traces remain; a slight suggestion of the former northern and eastern banks, barely perceptible to the casual observer walking through what is now ordinary grazing land.

The site’s proximity to other archaeological features hints at a landscape rich with medieval activity. A moated site sits immediately adjacent to where the enclosure’s northwest corner once stood, whilst another enclosure lies just 120 metres to the north in the neighbouring field. These spatial relationships suggest this wasn’t an isolated feature but part of a broader pattern of medieval land use and settlement in the area.

What makes this site particularly intriguing is its ambiguous southern boundary. While the western, northern, and eastern sides were clearly defined by enclosing elements, the southern edge may have been truncated by a later field boundary, though there’s no conclusive evidence that this boundary was ever part of the original monument. The enclosure’s east-west orientation and rectangular shape are typical of medieval field systems, but without excavation, its exact function; whether defensive, agricultural, or residential; remains a matter of speculation. According to local historian Cahill’s 1982 account, the monument’s destruction came during a period of agricultural intensification, a fate shared by countless other earthworks across Ireland.
